Abstract

Inspired by the ethos of collective and self-organised learning that enthuses Black feminist and queer movements, the two workshops facilitated by writer and art historian Aurella Yussuf offered artists, writers, and culture workers a supportive environment for peer-to-peer exchange and meaningful, culturally aware feedback on their work, along with a platform for critical discussions on contemporary art.

The workshop are specifically for Black People and People of Colour who identify as women and/or LGBTQIA+.

In Session Two Aurella led a discussion on the principles of culturally competent critique including Contextual Awareness, Avoiding Stereotypes and Assumptions, Active Listening and Inquiry, Reflecting on Your Own Positionality, Embracing Complexity and more. This toolkit enabled a space for critical, generous and supportive reflections on the works shared by participants.

Sabrina Henry (Head of Programme, CCA Glasgow) and Sophia Yadong Hao (Director,
Cooper Gallery) supported the conversations at both sessions.

After the two sessions, participants expressed the desire to continue the gathering and more sessions have been organised by the group.

A Growth Class is a collaboration between The Ignorant Art School at Cooper Gallery and CCA Glasgow.
