Hervé Télémaque: A Hopscotch Of The Mind

The first UK institutional show for the legendary Haitian-French artist includes paintings, objects, collages and assemblages from the late 1950s to the present day. Télémaque’s subversive practice, combining archival and contemporary pop cultural references, traces histories and the contemporary impact of racism, imperialism and colonialism.
