A Correia

Dr. Alice Correia is an Art Historian and Curator. She is a Research Fellow at the University of Salford. Her current research examines British art and exhibitions in the 1980s, with a specific focus on British-Asian diaspora artists, the politics of representation, and the legacies of Empire and Indian partition. In 2015 She was awarded a mid-career fellowship from The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art in order to undertake a project titled “Articulating British Asian Art Histories”. She co-edited the special issue of Third Text titled “Partitions: Art and South Asia”, published November 2017. To accompany the Special Issue she organised an ACE Funded one-day symposium, "To Draw the Line: A Case for South Asia", at the Bluecoat, Liverpool. Her DPhil from the University of Sussex examined contemporary art, (post)colonial identities and Britishness since 1980. In 2009 she curated the exhibition "Being British" at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, University of Greenwich. She has also worked at the Government Art Collection, and between 2012 and 2014 was The Henry Moore Foundation Research Fellow at Tate. In this role she undertook a land-mark two year research project on Henry Moore. She continues to have an active research interest in the work of Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Modern British Sculpture.
