Overview

Join artist Sokari Douglas Camp CBE, in conversation with Africa Fashion lead curator Dr Christine Checinska, at V&A South Kensington.

Learn the story behind the artist's monumental work, Europe Supported by Africa and America, which addresses the legacies of slavery and inequality, issues of power and gender, and the climate crisis. 
The large-scale steel sculpture is currently on display in the Dorothy and Michael Hintze Galleries and complements the Africa Fashion exhibition.

This conversation will also offer direct insights into Sokari Douglas Camp's process of ‘welding, cutting and bending steel’.
