CHANGE

As our first digital exhibition and our first exhibition to be held outside of the University of York’s term times, CHANGE aims to serve as a permanent resource on this website for those wishing to educate themselves as well as an illustration of artistic responses to racial injustices. Exhibiting artists have provided links and quotes relating to their personal experiences and responses not just to the Black Lives Matter movement but also to racism and race-related injustices as a whole.

Content warning: This exhibition contains artworks and resources which some viewers may find distressing.

CHANGE was brought to you by Norman Rea Gallery 2020/21, co-directed by Senah Tuma and Faith I Weddle. As an exhibition, CHANGE was first theorised by Senah Tuma and was brought into fruition by our committee: led by Elsa Cody, as well as Mariah Chuan, Nicole Fairey, Emily Quli, Lucy Whelan, Liuka Jonynaitė and Francesa Christodoulou alongside further support from Keziah Owusu and Finn Reece.

A special mention must go to the committee members who have formed our Web Team, to create this brand new site and exhibition: Senah Tuma, Faith I Weddle, Mariah Chuan and Nicole Fairey.
