WHATS ON.

Over the last twenty years or so I have come back again and again to the canvas, slowly finding my pace with pigments and textures. I mainly paint abstracts in mixed media including acrylic, plant powders, and oils. My work is full of energy and movement with my inspiration coming from natural landscapes, ‘colourscapes’ and the amazing worlds you can see if you look closely at things.

For centuries, Black communities have created music in the UK, melding global influences into a Black British sound that has echoed through generations.

Beyond the Bassline at the British Library, the first major exhibition of its kind anywhere in the world, is about more than music. It’s about the places where these sounds were born: the clubs, the carnivals, the stages, the kerbside auditoriums. It is the voice of community, resistance, culture and joy.

The exhibition examines how the cultural, counter-cultural, political and socio-economic backdrop of the 20th and 21st centuries have shaped the identity of Black style and in turn mainstream fashion culture. Extending far beyond the realm of the catwalk, the exhibition spotlights and contextualises the profound impact of Black creativity through music, photography, art and design.
