Sonia Boyce came to prominence in the early 1980s as a key figure in the burgeoning black British art scene of that time – becoming one of the youngest artists of her generation to have her work purchased by the Tate Gallery, with paintings that spoke about racial identity and gender in Britain.

Since the 1990s Sonia’s practice has taken a more multi-media and improvisational approach by bringing people together to speak or sing about the past and the present.

Sonia has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and internationally, including becoming the first Black woman to represent Britain at the 2022 Venice Biennale, for which she won the prestigious Golden Lion award.
