Join us for a gathering of artists and practitioners as we explore Donald Rodney’s influential, acerbic practice, in the context of broader dialogues around the politics of care and sickness, the artist-as-patient, and where the medical and the social meet.
Chaired by Jameisha Prescod, in this discussion Virginia Nimarkoh, Jamila Prowse, and Alinta Sara will examine Donald Rodney’s legacy and influence, and his singular ability to connect deeply personal experiences, with wider injustices surrounding racial identity, chronic illness and masculinity, and Britain’s colonial past.
Following starting provocations from each of our speakers, the conversation will move between the personal, the patient experience, and the wider socio-political implications and commentaries in work, cementing Rodney’s place as a vital figure in British art and interrogator of the human condition.
This panel accompanies our current exhibition, Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker.
