Kazvare Made It's 'There's Rice at Home' Examines Black British Life Through Pop and Archive

Kazvare Made It, an artist based in London, is set to unveil her first solo exhibition titled 'There's Rice at Home' at The Lemon Seed Project, a creative space converted from a residence. This exhibition will be accessible to the public on May 2 and May 9, 2026, for a limited time. Through her work in illustration, photography, text, and archival materials, Kazvare reinterprets Black British identity, incorporating pop culture and everyday items such as food and beauty products. The mixed-media pieces contrast vibrant illustrations with historical texts, highlighting figures like Ignatius Sancho and Dido Elizabeth Belle. Influenced by artists like Andy Warhol and Kerry James Marshall, Kazvare's colorful and humorous approach addresses issues of systemic racism and colonial legacies. Her digital polyptychs, shared on Instagram and TikTok, foster a community around her art. 'There's Rice at Home' delves into themes of domesticity, care, belonging, and the commercialization of Blackness, referencing familiar brands like Carnation Milk and Uncle Ben's rice.
