1985 Report on Art Education and the Black Artist
In 1985, Rasheed Araeen was commissioned by the GLC to produce a report on Art Education and the Black Artist (artists of Asian and African origins). The following pages are the last 3 pages of a 14-page report. Unfortunately, the rest of the report has either been lost or misplaced – and would require an extensive search to find it.

INIVA
The Establishment of INIVA
About one year after we submitted to the Arts Council our new revised plan and programme for Black Umbrella to the Arts Council, it came up with a plan similar to ours, indeed a rip-off of what we had proposed. And when Gavin Jantjes, an AC black functionary came to see us to discuss their own ‘plan’ with us, we were shocked. We clearly told Mr Jantjes that the AC should not expect our support for what was an intellectual theft, and that he should tell his bosses what we felt. But, despite our subsequent protests, the Arts Council went ahead and established INIVA in 1994.

Paranoia and Panic
When Gavin Jantjes came to see us, the AC’s project was called The Phoenix Project. But when we told him, jokingly, that he had forgotten that our own first publication in 1978 was called Black Phoenix, they immediately changed the name of their project to The New International Art Initiative, which later became INIVA.
