The exhibition features Protest Crowd, Charlotte, USA, (Black Lives Matter 2016), (2017) by Joy Gerrard. Gerrard is known for work that interrogates relationships between crowds, architecture and urban landscapes. Created with Japanese ink on linen, this striking and contemporary piece conveys a sense of the consolidated power of global protest movements.
