This image with a poem by Maya Angelou is my contribution to the collaborative mosaic as part of the Tate Exchange Programme, in the Blavatnik building at Tate Modern in London from May 30th to June 3rd. The opportunity to participate in this activity was provided by the ‘Politics, Art and Resistance’ course by the University of Kent. For more information you can visit the following links:
‘Walls and fences are not the only means used to separate people and turn neighbours into strangers. Everyday life practices and routines often place people into opposing categories such as us/them, inside/outside, included/excluded, old/young, rich/poor. Join us in exploring how art can be used to reveal, explore and question the processes that make us define others in terms of how they differ from ourselves. Workshops, interactive displays and live art interventions will interrogate the many complex ways in which we relate to otherness. Can we make connections and find what we have in common?’ http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/tate-exchange/workshop/other
