Experience the powerful work of Barbara Walker in her first major survey exhibition, showcasing more than 70 pieces that span a 25-year career.

From early works to the Turner Prize-nominated Burden of Proof series, and a striking new wallpaper installation, this exhibition offers a rare glimpse into Walker’s artistic journey.

Grounded in rigorous research, Walker’s art explores Black presence, identity, and the politics of visibility. Expect intricate drawings, monumental wall pieces, and thought-provoking installations that resonate with themes of erasure, history, and belonging.
