BEVERLY BUCHANAN

Over more than fifty years, Beverly Buchanan translated her experience as a Black woman into an artistic practice focusing on socio-economic and gender-based injustices. A painter, sculptor, and creator of public artworks, she produced works that are at once monumental and ephemeral, bringing to the fore themes such as colonialism and slavery: a body of work both personal and collective, fragmentary yet huge, that stands as a striking challenge to established hierarchies of power.
