The BBZ Black Book: Alternative Graduate Show 2019 group exhibition, co-curated by BBZ and Deborah Joyce Holman was on at London’s Copeland Gallery, running August 21 to 31.
The show featured emerging artists working across sculpture, mixed media, video and performance with Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Davinia-Ann Robinson, Ebun Sodipo, Enorê, Favour J, Kengy, Kumbirai Makumbe, Linda Nwachukwu, Miranda Forrester and Rene Matić. Exploring diverse viewpoints on Blackness and Queerness, examples include Davinia-Ann Robinson’s visceral installation spoke to issues of pleasure and power in the erotic for women of colour, through a sculpture of fake hair and synthetic compound with a time-based attention to material. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley’s performance, installation and multimedia works addressed archives, power structures and their relation to Black, trans people, at times drawing from and adding trans representation to the visual language of video games.**
