Join us at V&A South Kensington for an immersive study day and evening of talks, tours, discussions, Q&A, displays, and up-close viewing of our collections and discover a range of Global African artefacts that have been acquired by the V&A across its 170-year existence. Examine the V&A and its history and relationship with Africa, to understand the impact on the museum’s collecting strategies and practices today, including shifts in acknowledging the past and present achievements of Africans and their artistic creativity, and the challenges faced in securing a permanent gallery for Global African material, and making these acquisitions more accessible.
