Co-curated by Sutapa Biswas, Testimony: Three Black Women Photographers - Brenda Agard, Ingrid Pollard and Maud Sulter

Testimony: Three Black Women Photographers - Maud Sulter, Brenda Agard and Ingrid Pollard, is an exhibition co-curated by Sutapa Biswas hosted at The Pavilion, Leeds, the first art public gallery in the UK dedicated to exclusively exhibiting (at the time) and promoting photographic works by women. Founded by a group of feminists and activists who were Leeds, UK based, including Sutapa Biswas, who was an undergraduate student of Fine Art and Art History, The University of Leeds at the time. Housed in a former Victorian building, The Pavilion was situated in Hyde Park, Leeds. In addition a gallery space, it also accommodated a modest photographic printing studio which was accessible to women who were photographers or who wished to acquire photographic skills through The Pavilion's Educational programme. In 1985, following her graduation, Biswas was appointed as The Pavilion's first Education Outreach Worker. Also contributing to the exhibition programme, Biswas initiated and co-curated the exhibition Testimony: Three Black Women Photographers - Brenda Agard, Ingrid Pollard and Maud Sulter, with the artist Maud Sulter. Details of the contract appointing Biswas as curator to this exhibition are housed in Biswas's archive.
