“To Thine Own Self Be True” or “Keeping it Real In 2020s – Shakespeare offered this exhortation nearly 500 years ago and it must follow, as the night the day, that we are still seeking authenticity in an often confusing world. Let art lead the way, as these 12 artists have cracked the code in presenting their true selves to the world as Black Artists. Their varied approaches to art include textiles, paintings, sculptures and installations which galleries and curator September Gray says reflect both historical and cultural significance. This show presented in partnership with Pigment International will be radical in its simplicity and beauty.
