Sharif Persaud: Have you Ever Had

16 Oct 2021-9 Jan 2022

Overview

Coming directly from Autograph, London, Sharif Persaud: Have you Ever Had is the culmination of EXPLORERS; a three year, UK-wide project celebrating the extraordinary contributions neurodiverse people make to art and culture, led by Turner Prize nominees Project Art Works

Persaud has been part of Project Art Works since 2014 when he was part of a programme called Creative Interventions.  This solo exhibition features drawing, large paintings and the award winning short film The Mask, filmed backstage at the De La Warr Pavilion with Al Murray, in 2017

The De La Warr Pavilion’s relationship with Project Art Works began in 1997 with an exhibition of work created from residences in local schools under the title Art Works.  Subsequent exhibitions have been Kate Adams The Not Knowing Of Another (2008), Project Art Works: In The Realm of Others (2015) and Mikhail Karikis: I Hear You (2019). The Pavilion has regularly collaborated in studios, workshops and visits by the Collective.
