Defying the odds and reclaiming narratives for Black feminist art.

Please note that from Wednesday 2 to Friday 4 April there will be controlled access to the galleries.

Carmelita Kadeena is an artist based in Tottenham. She has been engaged in grassroots activism: writing social policy, working with Trade Unions and at aged 15, pioneering and leading supplementary schools in Birmingham. Now, she uses art to continue her activism.

Her materials are often found - board, old canvases, plaster, metal - or domestic - soot, cement, cutlery. She layers these with acrylic, oil, pastel to create unique, self-taught textures. Her art both asks and answers: 'What can these materials create?'

Carmelita's work celebrates the unique heritage of Black women, often referencing African art and sculpture via photographs. She takes inspiration from outsider artists and the Black Arts Movement of the 1980s.
