Sonia Boyce & others @ South London Gallery
10 September 2017 - 8 October 2017
The starting-point for The Place is Here is the 1980s: a pivotal decade for British culture and politics. Spanning painting, sculpture, photography, film and archives, the exhibition brings together works by 25 artists and collectives across two venues: the South London Gallery and Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. The questions it raises about identity, representation and the purpose of culture remain vital today.
The exhibition traces a number of conversations that took place between black artists, writers and thinkers as revealed through a broad range of creative practice.
