Curator Linsey Young finds out about group exhibitions by women of colour in the 1980s.
Joined by artists and curators, she explores how their shows made women of colour visible and expressed the politics and realities of their experiences.
From ‘CopyArt’ based on photographic self-portraits, to a giant avenging hindu goddess Kali, their work challenged stereotypes and was variously celebratory, sorrowful, satirical and urgent.
Featuring Marlene Smith, Rita Keegan, Sutapa Biswas and Nina Edge.
