Petrine Archer.com welcomes two artists as new supporters; Ebony G. Patterson whose exhibition Gangstas, Disciplez + Doiley Boyz was recently discussed in our DD blog (watch the interview) and photographer Roshini Kempadoo who is based in London and exhibits internationally. Both artists explore notions of identity, shifting to accommodate new environs. Ebony’s current work focuses on Jamaica’s dance hall youth culture and is very much based in the ‘now’ while Roshini considers memory and the alienation experienced by colonial and post-colonial communities as a consequence of voluntary and forced migration. It’s a privilege to have them join us because together their works speak to local and global, past and present aspects of our Diaspora existence. Supporting artists regularly contribute to blogs and classroom exchanges, in return we update readers on their future events and exhibitions.Visit Roshini's Kempadoo's new website.
