Speakers will include Joy Gleason Carew, Al Creighton and Nigel Harris, and features a fascinating powerpoint presentation on Carew's life.
Inscribe writer Valda Jackson will be exhibiting her talents at an upcoming conference, ‘Framing the Critical Decade: After the Black Arts Movement’, being held in Bristol on 21-22 March.
