1pm – 2pm Wednesday 16 October 2024
Join us for a talk with the artist Divine Southgate-Smith at East Gallery, Norwich University of the Arts.
13.00–14.00pm Wednesday 16 October | East Gallery
Norwich University of the Arts is pleased to present the first exhibition of the East Gallery Fellows 2023-4, with Divine Southgate-Smith. Over the past year, Southgate-Smith has used the research-based Fellowship programme to ‘launch a speculative and material investigation into the archive of African expression through craft and design’. ‘The archive is porous’, Southgate-Smith comments, alluding to the many voids in the official record of indigenous peoples. The resulting history, often constructed through colonial collecting and cataloging processes, she/they conjecture, cannot be considered as representing time or people in a linear manner. Her/ their exhibition is a rumination on the bead; a poignant object in her/their Togolease heritage, and in African history. Join the artist to hear more about her work including her/their recent presentation at Frieze Art Fair, London.
The event is free but places are limited.
