Boxed In, a new Manifesto Club provocation essay by artist Sonya Dyer, argues that diversity schemes and targets are pigeonholing black and Asian artists. She calls for an honest debate within the sector, and for artistic quality to be placed at the centre of arts funding.

We held a public event to discuss the issues raised in the report on 2 June 2007, 2-4pm, at the Camden Arts Centre, Arkwright Road, London NW3 6DG. See a map.

Panellists included: Sonya Dyer (report author, artist and art administrator), Zoe Whitley (curator, V&A Museum), Rajni Shah (artist), and Hassan Mahamdallie (Arts Council England).
