Modern Art Oxford- The Few Stains of Colour, August-September 2016

This was my first solo exhibition. I was chosen out of 50 other students taking part in my university degree show to curate my own solo exhibition in Modern Art Oxford’s project space along with three other artists from neighbouring universities in Berkshire.
We each had 3 weeks to display our exhibition. Later I was chosen to be the nominee from the three that would be entered for the 2016 Platform prize.
The piece included a film installation that was presented on selaco televisions, which explored the black opinion through interviews, imagery, sculpture, text and performance. In addition I created five new sculptures with varying concrete bases that stood in the space alongside a draped piece of fabric, which worked as a symbolic backdrop for the piece.
Finally I staged a series of performances that took place on the private view and at staggered times through out the opening day. This includes a series of subjects of multicultural ethnicities walking amongst the sculptures wearing a combination of ‘ normative’ clothing and brightly coloured african fabrics, whilst I vigorously chopped raw yam and recited a spoken word piece.
The piece was accompanied by a short publication of the body of work on a whole
