FEELING HER WAY at Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds
Leeds Art Gallery is pleased to present FEELING HER WAY as the second venue hosting the British Pavilion’s UK tour. The work was originally commissioned by the British Council for the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (2022), for which Sonia Boyce won the prestigious Golden Lion Award for Best National Participation.
This is the first time that the British Pavilion has been exhibited outside of Venice, having earlier been displayed at Turner Contemporary, Margate (4 February – 8 May 2023).
Through a combination of video, collage, music and sculpture, the exhibition centres around the voices of musicians Jacqui Dankworth, Poppy Ajudha, Sofia Jernberg, Tanita Tikaram, and composer Errollyn Wallen who were brought together by Boyce at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios and Atlantis Studios in Stockholm.
The exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery has been supported by British Council, Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation, Arts Council England, Leeds City Council and is part of LEEDS 2023, the city’s Year of Culture.
To coincide with the exhibition, Sonia Boyce will be in conversation with her collaborator and jazz vocalist Jacqui Dankworth, chaired by the multi-award-winning poet and scholar, Dr. Rommi Smith at the Howard Assembly Room, Leeds on 5 October 2023. The conversation will be followed by a performance by Dankworth’s trio alongside the celebrated Carducci String Quartet.
