Sonia Boyce in CONNECTING THIN BLACK LINES 1985 - 2025, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London
Sonia Boyce will participate in the major group exhibition Connecting Thin Black Lines 1985 – 2025 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London this June.
The exhibition, curated by Lubaina Himid in collaboration with the ICA, celebrates 40 years since The Thin Black Line, the groundbreaking group show of young Black and Asian women artists organised by Himid at the same venue in 1985.
Connecting Thin Black Lines 1985 – 2025 will present work by the original eleven artists: Brenda Agard, Sutapa Biswas, Sonia Boyce, Chila Kumari Singh Burman, Jennifer Comrie, Himid, Claudette Johnson, Ingrid Pollard, Veronica Ryan, Marlene Smith and Maud Sulter. It will be the first time that works by all the artists will be exhibited together again and highlights the interconnected and wide-ranging roles that The Thin Black Line artists have been playing in art and exhibition making, and the meaningful paths crossed between these artists over the course of the last 40 years.
