Join Hull based artist Glynis A. Neslen to find out about her artistic practise.
Glynis focuses on producing portraitures and positive images of Black women in her photographs, some which have recently been published in an Anthology: Shining Lights: Black Women Photographers in 1980s–90s Britain. Edited by Joy Gregory.
Glynis received her first camera at the age of 11 and gained a BA in Photography in 1985. In the 1980s she was a Member of the Brixton Black Arts Group and produced a wooden sculpture, a giant jigsaw for the Black Art Gallery.
The talk is BSL interpreted.
