Looking forward to this exhibition. I have never heard of Rita Keegan before I got the South London Gallery newsletter the other day. #CelebrateBlackWomen All Black Culture #FineArt #Artists
I profiled artist and archivist Rita Keegan ahead of her first solo show in 15 years at South London Gallery and ahead of the release of her new book published by Goldsmiths Press. Rita played an integral role in the British Black arts movement of the 80s theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…
Wonderful to see this profile of Rita Keegan this weekend. Mirror Reflecting Darkly, available soon from Goldsmiths Press, examines her artistic practice and everyday life as a working Black female artist. Preorder here: mitpress.mit.edu/books/mirror-r…
Rita's got a brand new bag - and it's available at South London Gallery (as well as RKAP badges/buttons).

Saw Cath tonight at Rita Keegan's in conversation. Talk touched on how we are in the thick of our own history. Cath's postcards were so formative in my own practice, along with Seeing Red Collective, and Brixton Art Gallery. South London Gallery Rita Keegan Archive Project #WOMENSART
