DADDY, I WANT
TO BE A BLACK ARTIST

 

Stacks Image 99
In 2013, the London-based, black youth organisation ‘Leaders of Tomorrow’ joined Kimathi Donkor for Daddy, I want to be a Black Artist.

Visits and behind-the-scenes workshops with the group explored the Tate Gallery’s collection of work by African and Caribbean Diaspora artists.

Commissioned by the Peckham Platform gallery to make new work based on these encounters, Donkor created paintings, drawings and an interactive print and digital installation called Learning Zone (detail pictured)—that encouraged visitors to research Black British artists at Tate.
