In our work exploring Black history in Britain we have been particularly working to uncover, document and make visible Black LGBTQ histories within British history. Within Drawing over the Colour Line and Black Modernism, we explored and researched various queer black artist models, artists, performers and writers involved in the interwar artworld such as Patrick Nelson, Jimmie Daniels, Alberta Hunter and Edna Thomas and focused on excavating the archives of artists such as Duncan Grant, Edward Burra, Barbara Ker-Seymer and John Banting in order to examine life histories of queer black and white artists, artistic, political and cosmopolitan connections and queer, ethnic and artistic identities within the archives.
