Street Level Photoworks in partnership with Glasgow Women’s Library, The Glasgow School of Art and Many Studios is delighted to welcome award-winning artist Joy Gregory to deliver The Maud Sulter Annual Lecture.
Joy Gregory is an award-winning artist specialising in photography, renowned for her exploration of identity politics and beauty culture. A graduate of Manchester Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art, she has exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally, participating in numerous biennales and festivals.
Gregory was the recipient of the 2023 Freelands Award. Her major retrospective, Catching Flies with Honey, opened at the Whitechapel Gallery in October 2025, accompanied by a publication of the same title. The exhibition is currently touring and will open at Arnolfini in October 2026 as part of the Bristol Festival of Photography.
The Annual Maud Sulter Lecture is presented by Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow Women’s Library, and The Glasgow School of Art. The series aims to build on Sulter’s legacy by providing a platform for Black and Women of Colour creatives who knew Sulter; can speak to the context she worked in; discuss her work; place her work in a wider field of practice; have crossovers in their practice; or discuss how Sulter’s legacy has impacted their own approach. In this way, the Annual Maud Sulter Lecture aims to keep the reach of her work alive.
Part of Black History Month and the Season of Photography 2026, a celebration of photography in Scotland running from 1 September – 20 December 2026.
164 Renfrew St, Glasgow G3 6RQ, UK
