Filter
David Hammons is a transformer of materials, whose work focuses on the physical and symbolic qualities of his surroundings in order to allow new meanings and metaphors to coalesce.
Hande, Archana
Artist
Archana Hande reflects on the nuances of growing up in the shadow of colonialism in India and the reproduction of power through industrialisation. Raised in Rourkela—an industrialist township in post-independence India—she began to question early how one understands oneself in a postcolonial schema.
Hassan, Fathi
Artist
Fathi Hassan explores the colonial erasure of ancient languages and oral histories as well as the ambivalence and fallibility of semiotic meaning. His family was displaced from their ancestral homeland in the Nubia region of Egypt after it was flooded by the construction of the Aswan High Dam in 1962.

Mona Hatoum reveals the inherent violence in a world defined by globalised political struggles and localised systems of control.
Himid, Lubaina
Artis
Lubaina Himid’s artistic and curatorial practice illuminates the omissions and hypocrisies of western colonial histories, centring the contributions of marginalised figures, particularly Black individuals, to cultural life in Europe.
