NOTTINGHAM ONLINE

CADALFEST Formations events hosted online by
Bonington Gallery

Formations is a series of events run by Nottingham Trent University’s Postcolonial Studies Centre and Bonington Gallery. The series takes its inspiration from the word ‘formations’, which signals the way that objects and concepts are arranged, patterned, and aligned, or the ways in which objects come into view, inviting new ways of seeing the world. For CADALFEST, online events will be hosted by Bonington for the Formations series. Three online events are currently planned for autumn 2022, please see below for more information.

Bonington Gallery was founded in 1969 and is situated at the heart of Nottingham Trent University’s School of Art and Design. Entry is free and open to everyone. The Gallery runs a programme of events and exhibitions throughout the year. To find out more information, visit the Bonington Gallery website.

The Postcolonial Studies Centre at NTU, established in 2000, is a leading international hub for critical thought around the legacies of social disenfranchisement, colonialism, neocolonialism and the potential for postcolonial thought to contest marginality and social exclusion. The PSC founded the Changing Wor(l)ds Partnership which works with publishers, writers’ agencies and activist groups, and literary and cultural organisations to create a platform for dissenting and disenfranchised voices. The underpinning research of all Centre members contributes to the shape of this network and its aims of establishing collaboration between postcolonial scholars and cultural activists and practitioners. The centre has been renamed Postcolonial and Global Studies Research Group in 2023 and is jointly directed by Dr Jenni Ramone and Dr Nicole Thiara. For more information, see the PGSRG page on the NTU website.
