'Covert' is part of the urbanflo OXYGEN series reflecting on the impact of the legacies of colonialism. The two-part exhibition takes its inspiration from the Brighton Pier penny arcade gypsy fortune-tellers of yesteryears and invites diverse artists to share their vision of the future. Art works offer electric eye-popping renditions of Afro-futurist identities, dreamy galaxies, earthly utopias, and a youthful hope for the future, but also stark reminders of the ongoing social injustices in the world. Curated by Amy Zamarripa Solis, 'Covert' features artists Kemi Oloyede, SD Chatterjee, Edi Mandala, Vincent Oyenga, Sonji Art and Martins Deep. 'Covert' will also be on display at Jubilee Library 21 May - 4 June. The art works were originally selected for Writing Our Legacys Covert literary magazine for Black, Asian and ethnically diverse writers and artists of colour, published in December 2020In the interest of everyones safety and wellbeing, unfortunately both venues have limited indoor access, however the exhibitions are located in the main front windows and can be viewed from the outside of the building 24/7
