AFRO DADA

Afro Dada fuses Afrocentric culture with the playful and unconventional spirit of Dadaism. It delves into matters of rupture, erasure, fragmentation, displacement, and the intricate interconnectedness of Black British, Caribbean, and African identities—identities profoundly shaped by the enduring impact of chattel enslavement and colonialism. This new experimental approach, which incorporates mark-making, photomontage, and collage, affords an exploration of identities that remain subject to speculation and inquiry in my work.  

As part of my solo exhibition, It Should Not Be Forgotten (29 March - 6 July 2025) at Firstsite, one of the gallery spaces has been transformed into a working artist’s studio, giving visitors a unique opportunity to step inside this new creative process. On selected Fridays throughout the show, I will be in the studio developing Afro Dada. The work will remain in the studio between my visits.
