Artist Talk: Sharon Walters in conversation with the National Portrait Gallery.

Join Sharon Walters in conversation with Dr Flavia Frigeri, CHANEL Curator for the Collection, National Portrait Gallery, London to discuss her ongoing series 'Seeing Ourselves' in which Walters creates intricate hand-assembled collages honouring Black Women - their history, culture and identity. “My work aims to explore and indulge in the multiplicity of Blackness and the embrace of our non- monolithic experiences.” SW Walters creates multi-layered portraits in which she, literally and metaphorically, opens up space. These dimensional portraits provide a portal and centre those who are often excluded and unheard in mainstream Western society. 'Seeing Ourselves' is also the title of Walters' first London solo exhibition on show at HackelBury Fine Art, London from Thursday 10th June until Thursday 4th July.
