Sharna Jackson's experience as a children's author who has worked for over a decade in the cultural sector, both at Tate in London and at Site Gallery in Sheffield, is combined here with the curatorial expertise of Dr. ZoƩ Whitley, Director of London's Chisenhale Gallery and co-curator of the landmark Tate exhibition "Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power." Their book features artists working in a variety of media from painting and sculpture to ceramics and installation.
The result is a refreshingly contemporary global celebration of Black artists at work today that will serve as inspiration to a new generation of aspiring young artists.
