This month’s Curating Culture to be an exciting one! We welcome to the Curating Culture studio Dr. April-Louise Pennant visiting fellow at the ACIJ/JMB from Cardiff University. Dr Pennant will share insights from the beginning stages of her Leverhulme Trust funded project which explores and uncovers histories of the Enslaved African people in Jamaica whose exploitation produced the capital that built Penrhyn castle in North Wales and its surrounding estates. We look forward to you joining us for her exciting and engaging presentations.
