About

Join us for a special 'In Conversation' talk, as part of our 'Global Connections' series of events. 

Professor Ann Sumner discusses the life and work of the Goan-born artist, Francis Newton Souza, with Dr Alice Correia, an independent curator, scholar and art historian whose research examines F N Souza's interest in Christian imagery particularly looking at his Crucifixion pictures.  

Dr Correia was part of the Transforming Collections: Reimagining Art, Nation and Heritage project at the Decolonising Arts Institute, University of the Arts, London. The three-year project sought to surface structural inequalities, biases and absences in public collections of modern and contemporary art across the UK. Correia's work focused on when and how institutions acquired, displayed and interpreted works by artists of South Asian heritage.

This 'In Conversation' event is being held alongside 'Everything is Connected', an arts trail drawn from the Methodist Modern Art Collection. Bradford Cathedral is hosting two works from the collection; Dalit Madonna by Jyoti Sahi, and The Crucifixion by Francis N Souza. These will be available to view before the event.
