A talk by Dr. Adam Elliot-Cooper, lecturer at QMUL, on the criminalisation of Black culture, tracing the history of the policing of Black culture, from Notting Hill Carnival through to Drill Music, and the importance of Black politics in resisting this criminalisation.

This event is part of the Blackness, Imagination, Liberation series.

Blackness, Imagination, Liberation aims to celebrate Black culture and art but also to give students space to consider the ways that the struggle for Black liberation is ongoing. We’ll be showcasing Warwick’s Black creative talent with events in collaboration with poets, musicians, photographers and more, and provide a forum for engagement with questions of oppression and resistance through talks and discussions with some of the foremost Black activists and thinkers in Britain today.

This campaign has been made possible by the support of alumni and donors through the Warwick Innovation Fund.
