Black History Month in Cupar: African Art for the People

We are thrilled to be co-hosting an event for Black History Month Scotland this October! Alongside friends at the Fife African Caribbean Network and Culture Heritage and Arts Argyll and Isles (CHARTS), we invite you to African Art for the People: A Family Open Day with the Argyll Collection at the Castlehill Community. This is a wonderful opportunity to see a pop-up exhibition of internationally significant works of African modernist art from the 1960s and 70s, bought in East and Southern African cities by the writer Naomi Mitchison for the children of Argyll and Bute. The artworks are part of the Argyll Collection, a unique and pioneering educational collection owned by Argyll and Bute Council, and managed by CHARTS, with support from Creative Scotland. 

On Sataurday October 18^th we will have a cluster of them on display, including a painting by Zambia’s most beloved artist, Henry Tayali, a print from the ‘Zulu Macbeth’ series by Lucky Sibiya, and a colourful work on paper by the iconic Jak Katarikawe, likely inspired by Miriam Makeba’s song, Malaika.In addition, we will have light snacks from Scottish-Nigerian chef, Nene Udofot (@nemelskitchen on instagram), and creative fun, led by poet Tawona Sitholé.

This event is free and open to everyone. To help us monitor numbers, please reserve a ticket. If the event is sold out, do add your name to the waitlist; we hope to accommodate everyone and are monitoring numbers for the safety of the artworks.
