Robert Beckford is an activist scholar working at the intersections of faith and racial justice. In response to Ufuoma Essi’s exhibition at Gasworks, "Is My Living In Vain", Beckford delivered an audio-visual presentation of gospel music re-imagined as a socially engaged black radical discourse. Working with new music videos and visual texts, Beckford articulated how collaborations with artists, musicians and producers resulted in the creation of a new sub-genre of gospel music underwritten by black/womanist theologies of liberation.
