The Meaning of Style

Mixed Media

 

Artists include: Vanley Burke, Clement Cooper, Michael Forbes, Gerard Hanson and Barbara Walker

Curated by New Art Exchange (David Schischka Thomas)

 

New Art Exchange presents an exhibition exploring the presence of young African Caribbean men in Britain over the last 40 years. Young African Caribbean men have often been portrayed as low achievers and perpetrators of crime in British society. But now, with Barack Obama winning the presidency of the biggest superpower in the world, will we see these same young men portrayed in a different light; a source of huge potential for the future? Will the achievement of black youth in Britain over the last 40 years be recognised and honoured?

[re]locate

Tahera Aziz

Sound Installation

 

‘[re]locate revisits an ordinarily public ‘place’ that retains the traces of a deeply significant

event; it is concerned with the processes involved in struggling to preserve the memory of that event whilst offering new insights. The idea for the artwork flows from the tragic

events surrounding the racially motivated murder of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence near a bus stop in south London in 1993, and the deep impact this has had both privately, for the

Lawrence family, and publicly.
