Major survey exhibition of British artist who experimented with materials and new technologies.

Donald Rodney lived with sickle cell anaemia and harnessed the condition to confront the prejudices and injustices surrounding racial identity, Black masculinity, chronic illness and Britain’s colonial past. At his untimely death in 1998, Rodney left a multifaceted and influential body of work which has influenced artists, writers and filmmakers on both sides of the Atlantic.

This major exhibition showcases the extraordinary breadth and influence of Rodney’s work, demonstrating him as a vital figure in British art, and introducing him to a new generation of audiences.
