Soulscapes explores the world through artists from the African diaspora

These artists are not afraid to rethink the boundaries of landscapes.

Soulscapes at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in Gallery Road, Dulwich Village, will explore our connection with the world through the eyes of  .

The works both expand and redefine the landscape genre, featuring more than 30 different contemporary pieces spanning painting, photography, film, tapestry and collage.

All artists differ in their approach to the theme.

Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s lush multimedia piece, Cassava Garden (2015), layers images from fashion magazines, pictures of Nigerian pop stars, and samplings from family photo albums to represent a hybrid cultural identity.

Phoebe Boswell will take over the gallery’s mausoleum with I Dream of a Home I Cannot Know, a meditative video created over the course of six years that documents daily life in Zanzibar.

Soulscapes will celebrate the power of landscapes and evoke the joy of personal experiences in varying composition, colour and style.

The exhibition is curated by Lisa Anderson, managing director of the Black Cultural Archives and founder of Black British Art.

She said: “At a time when global consciousness has been profoundly attuned to the precariousness and power of the natural world in our lives, I hope this exhibition will challenge perceptions of our relationship with nature.”
