Join us for an interactive art tour of our new exhibition on Black poppies (& Other seeds) by Artist in Residence Rebecca Korang on Thursday 30 October at 11:00. The tour will be led by curator Maitha Alsuwaidi.
Responding to the theme of 'Radical Joy,' Korang centres the stories of Black prisoners of war in the Second World War. The exhibition follows artistic and material explorations of her personal archive of photographs sourced from eBay, combined with tools and mediums including textile, weaving, and painting.
Korang's work weaves a thread from these histories to political events and cross-solidarities across the globe, all the way to current injustices that are both global in resonance and local to the artist and her lived experience as a Black German. This exhibition is a culmination of multiple and intertwined threads; bridging the personal with historical, embodied, and situated explorations.
There will be Augmented Reality and sound works across the exhibition, which can be accessed with a QR code using your phone. We encourage you to bring headphones to listen to these activations.
Please enter through the Rotunda entrance of Rhodes House on South Parks Road.
