'Crying in the Gallery' Lecture by Alice Procter

Alice Procter is an art historian, writer and educator. In 2017, she started the Uncomfortable Art Tours, unauthorised guided tours of British museums, exploring how major institutions came into being against a backdrop of imperialism. She is the author of The Whole Picture: the colonial story of the art in our museums and why we need to talk about it (Cassell 2020). Her work concentrates on the intersections of postcolonial art practice, the curation of historical trauma and narratives of national identity.
