The first in a new series of programmes in partnership with Black Voices CornwallThis is the first event from a new programming partnership between Tate St Ives and anti-racism charity Black Voices Cornwall. They will be joined on the evening by artists Maria Christoforidou, Libita Sibungu and Denzil Forrester.
Denzil Forrester’s work is represented in many collections nationally and internationally. His work Cottage Lover (1997) is currently on display at Tate St Ives, on loan from Arts Council Collection. Libita Sibingu lives and works in Cornwall and is the recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award (2022). Maria Christoforidou is an artist and teacher whose work explores issues including natural and cultural extraction.
The evening will focus on an experience of Black rurality and creativity. Sharing and thinking around how intersectional identities relate to how art is created, and how Blackness and rurality can be positively manifested.
This is an opportunity to hear from these influential artists living and working in Cornwall on the impact of place and Black experience on their careers and practice and to consider how to support the next generation of artists of colour in Cornwall.
Supported by the John S Cohen Foundation.
