A Sense Of Black Community at the gallery’s window box!
A Sense Of Black Community – Walsall 60’s-70’s
by Claudette Chambers
July – October 2010
This artwork was created responding to the exciting exhibition Back to Black held at The New Art Gallery Walsall in 2005.
This project put out a call to the black community across the borough of Walsall to lend us old photographs from their personal collections, which inspired this piece and enabled it to come to life. The photographs were scanned and then made into this digital collage that is currently hung in the gallery’s window box, you can’t miss it!
