Résumé:
This publication accompanies the artist’s solo exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery, which surveys her rich body of work from the 1990s to the present. It marks the first solo exhibition by a Black female artist in the 90-year history of the Gallery. The book honours and documents her compelling but underrecognized practice, which draws upon her lived experience as an African Canadian person and her mixed cultural heritage. Comprising mixed-media assemblages, paintings, sculptural objects and textiles made from found and recycled materials, her art explores the places and practices of her ancestors alongside contemporary political concerns and social movements such as Black Lives Matter.
