Barbara Walker

Our autumn 2024 programme leads with the first-ever survey exhibition and a new commission by Turner Prize nominee Barbara Walker.

Growing up in Birmingham, Walker’s personal experiences with issues of class, race, power and belonging have shaped her practice. She makes work that ranges from small, embossed works on paper, to large-scale wall drawings. Intensely observed and empathetic, her work gives a powerful presence to Black communities and culture in art history.
