Deborah Roberts: 2024 Photography and Moving Image Book Awards
Deborah Roberts: Twenty Years of Art/Work has been longlisted for the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation 2024 Photography and Moving Image Book Awards.
A focus on the personal and the political with themes including the Holocaust and contemporary space exploration; parental radical politics; the history of Black life and culture; African fashion; and the women of a remote Afro-Mexican village, make up the 20 longlisted titles for the 39th edition.
Anthony Luvera comments: “Race, beauty, consumption, globalisation, identity, and inclusion are some of the themes that Deborah Roberts palpably threads together in her powerful and distinctive collage works. Twenty Years of Art/Work is a beautifully realised survey publication of two decades of work by Roberts that traces the artist’s commitment to disassembling the cultural violence perpetuated against Black children and the politics of representation that continues to shape the contemporary Black experience at large.”
Preview Day: 15th May
Open: Thursday 16th May – Sunday 19th May
