She has chosen a work by Sonia Boyce OBE RA -- an artist whose work embodies inclusiveness, generosity, and the importance of working together. Boyce will be the first Black woman to represent the UK at the Venice Biennale, in 2021. 'Sonia Boyce was a key figure in the British Black Arts Movement, founded in 1982, just a few years before this image was created. I’m drawn to her work as it is deeply personal and rooted in her British Afro-Caribbean background, often depicting friends, family and interior spaces. Her work is also dynamic and conversational, often collaborating with other artists and the public. Boyce’s work unapologetically explores the experiences of being a Black woman living in a white society. She asks important questions around how we sit with difference in Britain, who gets to make art, and who gets to access it. I am initially struck by this image being both vibrant and calm. The bright Caribbean-coloured interiors remind me of West Indian relatives' homes: the orange paisley carpet, sculptural lamp, and patterned wallpaper. There is a strong sense of spiritual reckoning, a division of ideologies, and a coming of age. Boyce would have been in her early twenties when she created this work, and we can see a youthful Rastafarianism challenging her Christian upbringing. In 2020, in the midst of a pandemic and a year of unrest, particularly for Black people, ‘Laard but look my trials nuh’ (inscribed in the work) resonates for many of us in new ways.' - @rachelmaud, Convenor of Tate's Young People’s Programme and a member of Tate's BAME Network Sonia Boyce, Missionary Position II 1985, Tate collection」10月16日 0時26分
