BSL Tour of Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way

When:

Friday 21 April 2023, 12pm – 1pm

Please meet on the balcony.

The Exhibition

Commissioned by the British Council for the British Pavilion, Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way combines video, collage, music and sculpture to present a body of work that centres around the vocal experimentation of five Black female musicians.

Featuring Jacqui Dankworth, Poppy Ajudha, Sofia Jernberg, Tanita Tikaram, and composer Errollyn Wallen, these intergenerational musicians were brought together by Boyce at Abbey Road Studios in London and Atlantis Studios in Stockholm to improvise, interact and play with their voices. Colour-tinted video works take centre stage among tessellating wallpapers, created by Boyce, and golden 3-D geometric structures, which immerse the audience in the work through their highly reflective surfaces.
