Transforming Legacies
Curated by Pacheanne Anderson, Transforming Legacies brings together 21 emerging and established artists, and presents a reflection of the last 40 years of Black British art across multiple disciplines including painting, ceramics, film, and performance. The works exhibited will be commenting on life at present and exploring different versions of the future. Artworks from the likes of Ajamu, Karis Beaumont, Jaffar Aly and Enam Gbewonyo will feature in the exhibition.
Combining the strength of Black art across decades, the exhibition provides an opportunity to evaluate the way British art history is understood, shared, celebrated, and portrayed. Presented across several rooms, the exhibition is designed to allow visitors to journey through generations of Black art.
Pacheanne Anderson
“I am extremely honoured to have been commissioned as curator on this project. This exhibition for me encapsulates what it means to authentically reflect on the idea of Black British culture in an authentic way from a refreshing perspective that looks at past present and future but working with and in a community of local and diverse talent.”
