The Stuart Hall Library is part of Iniva, the Institute of International Visual Art. Iniva was founded in 1994 with a remit to address an imbalance in the way culturally diverse artists and curators were being represented in the UK. They collaborate with artists, curators, researchers and cultural producers to challenge conventional notions of diversity and difference. They work predominantly with British-born and British-based visual artists of African and Asian descent. Challenging notions of difference and diversity, Iniva is dedicated to looking at the social and political impact of globalisation in visual arts through the lens of race, class and gender.
The library focuses on British, European and American contemporary art by artists predominantly with an African, Afro-Caribbean, African-American, South Asian, East Asian, Oceanic and Latin American heritage. It has a collection of over 10,000 holdings including a multi-media collection comprising books, monographs, periodicals, slides, DVDs, CDs, film and video, photographs and sound recordings.
