Decolonising Oxford: The Student Movement from Stuart Hall to Skin Deep

Abstract

Skin Deep grew out of the student anti-racist movement #I Too Am Oxford. It is a London based multimedia platform for issues surrounding race and culture. This chapter looks at the Skin Deep project as a counter movement to the way in which culture is often simultaneously racialised and depoliticised in the mainstream. In contrast to the exclusionary white space of higher education. our aim is to curate a space in which a diverse range of heritages, tastes, styles, stories, sounds, traditions and imaginings can be explored both creatively and politically.
