Tickets - Free


In his first solo exhibition Nottingham artist Michael Forbes explores themes of contemporary racial politics, migration, history, religion, and blackness/whiteness. He works with sculpture, installation, and photography.

The artist's new works, exhibited together for the first time, were conceived during Covid lockdown for his MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. Beginning his artistic practice in photography, the exhibition includes two bodies of work. The first, an ongoing project, documents vibrant Caribbean Street carnivals. The second series of designer fashion displays links his lens-based practice to recent sculptural work incorporating shop window mannequins.

This exhibition includes strong language.
