In this episode, Sharon talks about her Caribbean heritage, her early connection to race equality campaigners and inspirations Eric and Jessica Huntley, how her wide education has informed her practice, how her collages celebrate Black women and seek to redress the balance of under- representation in mainstream media and art history, how she has questioned museums’ object descriptions, why she chose collage as her main means of artistic expression, and about her long-running series Seeing Ourselves.
