In April 2022, artist Sonia Boyce won the Venice Biennale’s top Golden Lion prize with her work Feeling Her Way.
Join Sonia in conversation with art critic Louisa Buck as she discusses her creative story leading up to this success, the making of her exhibition, winning the award, its impact on her work and plans for the future.
As with all the artists in this series, Louisa will also be asking Sonia from her creative perspective, what is she feels is most important for us to focus on as one society, post-covid.
Sonia Dawn Boyce, OBE RA (born 1962), is a British Afro-Caribbean artist, living and working in London. She is a Professor of Black Art and Design at University of the Arts London. Boyce’s research interests explore art as a social practice and the critical and contextual debates that arise from this area of study.
With an emphasis on collaborative work, Boyce has been working closely with other artists since 1990, often involving improvisation and spontaneous performative actions on the part of her collaborators. Boyce’s work involves a variety of media, such as drawing, print, photography, video, and sound. To date, Boyce has taught Fine Art studio practice for over thirty years in several art colleges across the UK.
