In this last episode of the second series I discuss visibility and negotiating public space in a black female body through the work of two contemporary British artists, Claudette Johnson and Barbara Walker. I talk about the history of immigration in post-war Britain, the Windrush scandal, and the damaging effects of negative political rhetoric about race and immigration on real people's lives.
The Gallery Companion is hosted by writer and historian Dr Victoria Powell. It's a thought-provoking dive into the interesting questions and messy stuff about our lives that art explores and represents.
