Watch the new documentary films about Nnena Kalu and Thompson Hall on SHIFT
ActionSpace artists Nnena Kalu and Thompson Hall have been included in the new website SHIFT, a project created by Jennifer Lauren Gallery. SHIFT features new documentary films that follow Nnena and Thompson’s practices in the studio, insight about their influences, as well as why the profile of artists with learning disabilities needs to be raised in the contemporary art sector. In the films ActionSpace artist facilitators Lisa Brown and Charlotte Hollinshead, who work closely with the artists, share more about each artists practice.
SHIFTÂ is an online digital platform that exists to give recognition to and amplify the voices and works of learning disabled and neurodivergent visual artists across the UK. SHIFT looks at the lives and art practices of eight artists, capturing their stories through short accessible documentary films, artwork documentation and written text.
As part of the launch of SHIFT, Thompson Hall speaks to Jennifer Gilbert about his art and it’s placing in the wider contemporary arts field. Read Thompson Hall In Conversation with SHIFT’s Jennifer Gilbert
