English, Faculty of
In 2013, courtesy of the trustees of the Williams estate and October Gallery, the English Faculty Library at the University of Cambridge installed two paintings by the Guyanese artist Aubrey Williams (1926-1990). From one of his major series, The Olmec Maya and Now, the paintings have acted as a concrete signal of an increase in attention to the Caribbean and its cultures at Cambridge; their arrival just one of a series of events that have marked an expanded interest in Guyanese and Caribbean arts across the country since the turn of the century.
This symposium will bring together a diverse range of Caribbean scholars to celebrate the arrival of Williams’ paintings at Cambridge and to reflect on the impact of Caribbean artists, in all media, on the world.
Cost: £40, £10
