The British artist Sonia Boyce (b. 1962) is celebrated for depicting intimate social encounters that explore interpersonal dynamics in drawing, photography, video and installation, using images and sounds captured during the participatory art events she initiates. Boyce’s immersive new exhibition for the British Council commission at La Biennale di Venezia 2022 is her most ambitious to date―focussing on collaborative play as a route to artistic innovation and the importance of taking creative risks―both central tenets of Boyce’s exceptional artistic practice.

Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way captures the drama and scope of this multi-sensory work as it unfolds throughout the British Pavilion. This extensively illustrated book not only explores the new installation in detail but provides intriguing behind the scenes glimpses into the artist’s unique process and captures a remarkable statement by an artist at the height of her creative power.
