Devotional at the National Portrait Gallery
Celebrating black female singers in British entertainment, this unique display curated by British-Ghanaian Eddie Otchere is the latest development in the 'Devotional Series', a body of work by the artist Sonia Boyce. The display takes the form of an elaborately hand-drawn installation on the gallery walls: a roll call of one hundred and eighty names. The names will be illustrated by portraits of several of the singers, among them Shirley Bassey, Joan Armatrading, Des'ree and Ms.Dynamite. Devotional is on at the National Portrait Gallery until 25th November.
