Britain’s Caribbean Artists Movement (1966 – 1972)
Ronald Moody, ‘Unknown Political Prisoner’ 1953
The Caribbean Artist Movement started in a small London flat in Mecklenburgh Square in 1966 by a Caribbean writer on study leave wishing quite naturally, to get in touch with as many Caribbean artists as possible. Where were they? Who were they? This course examines the roots/routes of The Caribbean Artists Movement in Britain.
The course provides an introduction to the lives and works of the key participants, including those not only at the core, but those that documented it, and so too those on the periphery that lent the association support.
