I have always championed the contribution of
black women and that's still very much part of what I
do: In 2015, I curated a group show at Hollybush Gardens called «Carte de Visite», featuring work by three
black women artists who wouldn't normally show there.
You don't often see all the
artists listed together especially the line up for
Black Woman Time Now, its not in Passion: Discourses on
Black Womens Creativity (1990) and its not in The Companion to Contemporary
Black British Culture (2002) even though the exhibition is mentioned, or Shades of
Black (2005), or the catalogue for Transforming the Crown (2007).
