The British Council presents Feeling Her Way - a major solo exhibition of work by artist Sonia Boyce OBE RA for the British Pavilion at this year’s 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
The installation will immerse visitors in the collaborative dynamism of five Black female musicians brought together by the artist to improvise, interact and play with their voices. Colour-tinted video works take centre stage among Boyce’s signature tessellating wallpapers and golden 3-D geometric structures, which bring the audience into the work through their highly reflective surfaces. The rooms of the pavilion are filled with sounds – sometimes harmonious, sometimes clashing – embodying feelings of freedom, power and vulnerability.
In this film, take a virtual tour of the exhibition’s six rooms, which feature performers Poppy Ajudha, Jacqui Dankworth MBE, Sofia Jernberg, Tanita Tikaram and composer Errollyn Wallen CBE.
Feeling Her Way runs from 23 April – 27 November 2022 (previews 20 April) in Venice Italy. Explore more of the exhibition online: venicebiennale.britishcouncil.org -
