Exhibition Talk: Lens-based artist Jermaine Francis in conversation with Francesca Vanke
Lens-based artist Jermaine Francis in conversation about his work 'Rio They/Them, England, 2021' in the exhibition with curator Francesca Vanke. Jermaine's recent series of photographs 'A Storied Ground' explores a Black presence in nature. Historically the Black figure is absent in the English landscape, which has a strong relationship to nationalism and colonialism. Francesca discusses with Jermaine how these codes infiltrate and influence how the Black figure is seen, and how the positioning of his work in the exhibition offers a thought-provoking contrast with historical paradigms of landscape art. Tickets include museum admission.
