I just watched both linked videos and so appreciate hearing these artists’ perspectives. Their messages are so powerful and important. Learning about the black experience (in the UK and USA) has been so enlightening and enraging, especially realizing how sheltered many (most?) white people are from it by design. These amazing women are doing the social, political, and cathartic work (beautifully and skillfully) that will truly change the world for the better. At least I hope. Thank you for shining a light on them and bringing them into my schema.

Is the exhibition at the Courtauld still on (I'm googling) but it looks fantastic. Thank you so much for this, I hadn't heard of either of these artists before. The Gospel Oak letter is heartbreaking
