MAY NOTHING STAY HIDDEN
MALAIKA BROOKS-SMITH-LOWE January 24 - February 16 |
The work presented in this exhibition was created by Malaika Brooks-Smith-Lowe during her six week art residency at NLS. The artist used the residency programme to explore the impact of migration on family, with her grandfather’s childhood story as the starting point. Drawing from audio conversations and found photographic film of her grandfather, as well as salvaged furniture and other materials discovered as she explored his birthplace, Malaika Brooks-Smith-Lowe constructs an intimate portrait of the anxieties, fears and dreams which surround migration as well as a persistent hope for transcending these complex emotions. This residency project was sponsored in part by Three Sixty Degrees, True Self Centre of Being, Neil Willcox and individual private donors. More information here Listen to Malaika on IN podcast |
