Sue Williamson's first UK institutional exhibition at The Box explores memory and colonial injustice

The Box in Plymouth is currently hosting Sue Williamson's inaugural UK exhibition, titled 'Between Memory and Forgetting,' which runs until June 4. This exhibition spans her artistic journey from the 1980s to 2023, featuring a diverse array of photography, sculpture, and video that delve into themes of memory and colonial injustices. Originally from South Africa, where she relocated in 1948, Williamson gained prominence during the 1980s for her critiques of apartheid and her focus on women of color. Notable works on display include 'A Few South Africans' (1983–87), 'All Our Mothers' (1981–2022), and the 2023 installation 'Towards Another World,' which references the Boer War, juxtaposing expansive installations with intricate photographs that embody her exploration of darkness and vitality.
