Marcia Michael: The Family Album

From Sat 15 Mar View Venues, Dates & Times

Featuring stunning photographs, sculptures, and archival imagery.

The beauty and depth of Black family connections in British history is the subject of this thought-provoking exhibition by Marcia Michael, a multidisciplinary artist of Caribbean descent. 

“The things that we really look for, whilst looking at our photo album, is sameness and familiarity,” says Marcia. “Do we have the same eyes, the same mouth? Do we have the same taste in clothes, music or things? Did I look like my mum when she was my age? Those things that we look for in the photographs are never placed in the album intentionally, yet are so important in understanding who we are and how family ties are made.”

Discover The Family Album, a powerful and moving solo exhibition by Marcia Michael. As a multidisciplinary artist of Caribbean descent, Michael reimagines the family album to explore the beauty and depth of Black family connections in British history.

Through her works in The Study of Kin, The Family Album, and The Object of my Gaze, she captures intimate family moments and challenges stereotypes, celebrating Black love and identity.
