SCAN’s AGM 2025 with Beatriz Lobo Britto
SCAN’s 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place online on Tuesday 4 November, 11am – 12.30pm, with a keynote from curator Beatriz Lobo Britto.
All SCAN members are invited to attend, and details should be in all members’ inboxes now. Not a SCAN member yet? You can join here today.
SCAN’s AGM is a great opportunity for our members to to hear all about our last year of activity, vote on board appointments, learn about our future plans and hear from a specially selected guest speaker. The meeting will start with formal AGM business, including an introduction from our Director Veronique AA Lapeyre and a report on the work we have carried out over the past year from our Chair Jenny Crowe.
You can access all of the AGM Papers, including the agenda, here. If you have not attended an AGM before or are unsure of what you can expect or how you can contribute, we have created a quick guide to help you.
After the business part of the AGM, we are thrilled to be joined by our keynote speaker Beatriz Lobo Britto, Curator at Institute of International Visual Art (Iniva). Iniva was founded in 1994 as a not-for-profit organisation to address the new internationalism of the visual arts in the United Kingdom and the broad and multi-cultural artistic communities contributing to the cultural landscape.
Beatriz has been Iniva’s curator since 2022, where she is responsible for the development and delivery of exhibitions and public programmes with a focus on artistic practices from Global Majority, working with artists and partners to implement artistic projects through research, radical art education, unlearning, and wellbeing practices. She graduated from The Glasgow School of Art’s Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) masters programme in 2020, and has previous curatorial experience at Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), The Newbridge Project in Newcastle, and ÚNA, a Scottish festival dedicated to cross-cultural exchange between Scotland and Latin America.
Beatriz is also a museologist, researcher and an enthusiast of non-hierarchical thinking, believing in non-linear ways of composing and organising ideas. Her research is invested in decolonial methodologies, exploring practices around education, social and environmental justice. Since 2011, Beatriz has been an advocate for Indigenous rights, working on community-led projects with a focus on critical pedagogy and land justice in South America.
