This seminal exhibition - devised and selected by artist, writer, editor and curator Rashed Araeen - celebrated the contribution of Artists from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean in post-war Britain. Deliberately not an academic or objective history, it was instead curated by an artist who declared himself to be ‘wholly involved in the story’.

This exhibition brought together sculptures and installations that use artificial light to transform space and to influence and alter perception. Making use of materials ranging from off-the-shelf fixtures to computer-controlled lighting, the works stimulated many different - and often surprising - responses.

This rather morbid information is helpful for reflecting that the challenge of COVID19 will pass.
