Sonia Boyce’s early work Pillowcase (1990) features in 'Friends in Love and War - L’Éloge des meilleur es ennemies', a group exhibition of works from the British Council Collection and macLYON.

'Friends in Love and War' explores the theme of friendship. Taking place in the partner cities of Lyon and Birmingham, the exhibition also looks at diplomatic friendships, and how regional capitals and cultural institutions can create new ways of living and working together in a post-Brexit climate.

The exhibition is co-curated by Marilou Laneuville, Head of Exhibitions and Publications, macLYON and Melanie Pocock, Acting Artistic Director, Exhibitions, IKON. The exhibition will travel to IKON Gallery, Birmingham, UK in Autumn 2024.
