ART talk by joshua donkor
JUN 26, 2024 | 18:00 - 19:15
King Edward's Art & Photography department is proud to welcome Joshua Donkor.
Joshua (b. 1997, UK) is a British-Ghanaian painter whose work uses portraiture as a tool explore diasporic identities through multiple generations of family.
Although the subject matter of the work is deeply personal, the paintings connect and communicate to all audiences, allowing them to respond deeply to the images. The artists use of image transfers provides a crucial glimpse into the subjects defining memories and family histories. This allows the audience to almost trace the stories running through the individuals life.
This not only creates a deeper understanding and connection to the subject but also invites the audience to question what impact their own cultures and family histories have had on their personal sense of identity.
