Come and join us on a walking tour of Newcastle University\u2019s campus and its environs, uncovering the history of the buildings, their global and colonial links and what it means for us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk will take in some of the oldest and most important buildings on campus to reveal how they have been implicated in colonialism and engage with the histories of some of those of recent African descent whose lives have been influenced by Newcastle University, such as Martin Luther King Jr, Irene Ighodaro and Frederick Douglass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fine Art Antiracism Forum formed in October 2020 to discuss ways we in the department can work together towards anti-racism goals and enhance racial literacy amongst staff and students. We are building off an incredible student project, Dis-Course<\/em>, published the previous year, documenting the racism our students of colour experienced in the department and wider city. To honour that work and counter existing and damaging cultures in the department, the forum’s key aim is to provide embedded antiracist resources and programming for both staff and students. Any queries, please feel free to email Eva Masterman at: e.masterman2@ncl.ac.uk  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
