About the exhibition:
Renowned Essex-based artist Elsa James’ (b.1968) latest exhibition is a
profound exploration of her roots seeking to capture the rupture,
erasure, psychological impact and fragmentation of her Black British
heritage. It focuses on narratives of enslavement and Black interiority to
challenge Britain’s colonial past.
James will present new works, including photography, print, neon, sound
and mixed media.
