Gallery Talk: Sokari Douglas Camp CBE

18 Jun 2022 3.30-4.30pm

October Gallery

London WC1N 3AL

Overview

The event will focus on Jonkonnu Masquerade, a solo exhibition of new works by Sokari Douglas Camp CBE. Exploring the masquerade of ‘Jonkonnu’ both within its Caribbean context and that of the broader African diaspora, the talk will investigate the artist's work process and practice.

The exhibition coincides with the artist's large-scale steel sculpture Europe Supported by Africa and America being displayed at the V&A to complement the Africa Fashion exhibition, which opens on 2nd July, 2022. Two more of her larger than life-sized steel sculptures, again relating to Jonkonnu, will also form part of the Kensington and Chelsea Art Week, from 23rd June - 3rd July, 2022.
