Brutalist home of England's first National Black Art Convention saved from demolition

The University of Wolverhampton’s School of Art building, an eight-story Brutalist landmark completed in 1969, has been granted Grade II listed status by the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport, saving it from demolition. The building hosted the first National Black Art Convention in 1982, a pivotal event in the British Black arts movement, and is closely tied to the Blk Art Group, whose founding members include Keith Piper, Marlene Smith, and Claudette Johnson. The listing follows a campaign against the university's redevelopment plans, supported by a petition with over 6,600 signatures.
