About

Striking up conversations about what it means to be Black and British in the UK today, 'Libation' features drawing, sculptures, digital films, photography, and recent performance all of which explore themes of migration, identity, race, class and journeys.

The exhibition's title, 'Libation', refers to the ceremonial pouring of a liquid to pay homage to ancestors or relatives who have passed away. The ceremony is prominent in traditional Black Caribbean and African cultures not only for funerals but as a celebration of life for unions and weddings.
