Ishbel Myerscough will discuss her figurative painting practice with Jessica Rutterford of Flowers Gallery. Myerscough’s painting Krishenda won the prestigious BP Portrait Award in 1995, and her work is currently on display alongside Chantal Joffe in the joint exhibition Friendship Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery.
This upcoming event at the Tate Modern looks great, with films from Charles Burnett’s ‘Killer of Sheep’ 1977 to Haile Gerima’s ‘Bush Mama’ 1975. There are also films from Julie Dash, Jamaa Fanaka, Larry Clark, Billy Woodberry, Ben Caldwell and Barbara McCullough.

Pioneering, provocative and visionary, the LA Rebellion films form a crucial body of work in post-war cinema. In the late 1960s a number of African and African American students entered UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television, and from the first class through to the 1980s came to represent the first sustained undertaking to forge an alternative Black cinema practice in the United States.
This season will provide the first opportunity in the UK to explore the full extent of this remarkable period and encounter the artists who pioneered counter-cultural and community-based approaches to filmmaking from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Below is a list of films in the series, but find out more about the L.A. Rebllion Series on the TATE Modern website: LA Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema.
