Jago Cooper was appointed as the new Director of the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Arts last November.  He is also Professor of Art and Archaeology at the UEA. We are delighted that he will be giving a talk to ncas, when he will outline his aspirations for SCVA and his ideas for its future. Come and hear his talk and be ready with your questions.

Professor Cooper has spent more than 20 years working on a diverse range of cultural projects around the world, always centred on the study and communication of visual and material culture.  After ten years as Head of the Americas Section at the British Museum and Director of the Santo Domingo Centre of Excellence for Latin American Research, these collaborations have led to a series of innovative exhibitions, artistic commissions and international exchange programmes that challenge traditional museum practice.

With a particular interest in using digital technologies to reach new audiences and cut across multiple academic disciplines, his work spans the subjects of art, museology and archaeology. In addition to his books and exhibitions, Jago has also written and presented a series of BBC documentaries based on his research and international collaborations.
