Julianknxx, Chorus in Rememory of Flight – Sylvain Campeau
Ciel variable 131 – COLLECTING | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Sylvain Campeau | Artists: Julianknxx
The exhibition circulated by London’s Barbican Centre and seen by Sylvain Campeau in Lisbon reflected Julianknxx’s commitment to the African diaspora in Europe. Originally from Sierra Leone, the England-based artist explored, most notably in a monumental three-screen video, the presence of Black bodies in cities where racism remains latent. The result, described by the critic as “astounding,” asserted that the renewal of this population’s identity enriches society.
