DETAILS:

The Scottish-Ghanaian artist Maud Sulter (1960 – 2008) created her iconic series Zabat in 1989. The works were commissioned by Rochdale Art Gallery to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the invention of photography and were presented in a solo show titled Photoworks: Zabat: Poetics of a Family Tree.

The photographs depict contemporary Black women artists, writers, performers and activists, dressed as the nine Greek Muses. The photographs subvert the usual representations of women in Western art and highlight the connections between European and African histories and cultures.

This display includes seven of the nine photographs in the Zabat series, on loan to us from public and private collections from around the UK.

The exhibition is touring from the New Hall Art Collection at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge.
