Thank you to Pratibha Parmar ( @mzpratibha) for her brilliant Maud Sulter Annual lecture, at Glasgow School of Art, in honour of Maud Sulter, her life and creativity. Maud Sulter: Shimmering Golden (“shimmer golden” is a line taken from Sulter’s scholarship re: Black female creativity), is Pratibha’s deeply moving presentation, synthesising Sulter’s polymathic practice, Sulter’s scholarship concerning resistance and invisibility, the scholarship of others (from Christina Sharpe to Gayatri Spivak) and Pratibha’s own critical thinking as a filmmaker and scholar, whose methodology is visual justice.

Pratibha’s interweaving of liminality, hauntology and revelation (including audio of Sulter singing a folk song; a photo of her, as a child, with her maternal grandmother) was heartachingly poignant. It reconfirmed Sulter’s striking prescience, given contemporary dialogues about archiving as a radical practice, countering both invisibility and erasure.

Thank you to Pratibha, for generously including in her lecture my promenade performance lecture: Tracing the Thin Black Line. A collaboration with musician and composer @christellalitras, Tracing the Thin Black Line was part of the programme Connecting Thin Black Lines (June – September 2025), curated by Lubaina Himid @lubainapics and commissioned by the @icalondon.

Great to see and catch up with Ingrid Pollard @ukegirl, whose work was included in Pratibha’s lecture too. Thanks to Pratibha, Shaheen, Glasgow School of Art and The Glasgow Women’s library for the invitation to break bread (injera) together after @mosobglasgow

It’s been such a joy getting to know Pratibha Parmar and Shaheen Haq a little over the past few months — first when (to my delight and complete surprise), they came to Tracing the Thin Black Line; then a kind invitation to Pratibha’s book launch for: Our Eyes as Commonly Tender: Visual Justice in the Filmmaking of Pratibha Parmar. It has been inspirational to revisit A Place of Rage (1991) and see Emergence (1986) and Sari Red (1988).

✨️Artist Spotlight Ingrid Pollard✨️

Ingrid first arrived at Highgreen in October 2012. Trained in photography and film with a background in drawing and printmaking, Ingrid spent her year-long VARC residency exploring themes central to her practice: portraiture and identity, belonging and heritage, and the hidden histories of England’s landscapes, particularly those linked to Africa and the Caribbean.

Ingrid recorded the changing seasons and researched the area’s layered histories. One of her main ambitions was to create a camera obscura—a project that gained strong local support. With funding from the Northumberland National Park Authority’s Sustainable Development Fund, she built a portable camera obscura designed to travel to schools and agricultural shows, making it a lasting resource for the wider community. The finished piece debuted with pupils at Otterburn First School and has since been used all over the country.

Ingrid also worked closely with the community through a series of workshops. She transformed her studio into a darkroom over winter, hosting well-attended pinhole and black-and-white photography sessions. She also ran creative sessions with Greenhaugh First School, introducing students to photography, shadow puppetry, and analogue techniques.

Her final exhibition,'Regarding the frame', explored the local Tarset Landscape, sites of historic and local economies. The exhibition drew on the traditional chemical processes of photography from the camera Obscura, analogue photography, flick books, and print making to digital photography and video. "The images question the ways that geology and natural features dictate rural economies and activities."

Images 1-5 belong to the artist (apologies for the cropping) and have been taken from Ingrid's exhibition catalogue, which features an essay by Carol McKay, and can be downloaded from Ingrids VARC artist page: varc.org.uk/artists/ingrid-pollard/

Images 6-9 show various workshops and engagement activities, including the Camera Obscura at a local school.
