A5 postcard featuring Backdrop by Barbara Walker. Exclusively produced to accompany the new exhibition Barbara Walker: Being Here at the Whitworth.
For over twenty-five years, Walker has been making intensely observed and empathetic figurative work that creates space for Black presence, power and belonging. Ranging from delicate graphite drawings on archival documents to a monumental charcoal wall drawing, Walker tackles wide-ranging themes such as the policing and surveillance of Black life, twentieth-century war histories, immigration and Old Master paintings to challenge conventions of representation and the histories they are rooted in.
Printed onto quality 300gsm invercote semi-gloss paper stocks by King&McGaw, leading experts in fine art print publishing, based in Sussex.
