This unique presentation of screenprints is the first part of an exploration project discussing the topics of racial identity, inequality and care through the Black Feminine Lens. Working across printmaking, video and performance, Charles explores the rhythms, movement, and the body language of women of colour.
For this solo exhibition, the artist has composed a new series of screenprints that explore and convey the gestures of being judged, analysed, and satisfied within a format of a salon. Charles considers the salon as a space of escape and support, which will be driven from one-to-one conversations with Black creatives as jumping off points.
