In Conversation: Leah Hickey, Jamal Lloyd Davis & Tomilola Olumide

The New Art Gallery Walsall is working in partnership with Multistory to present Communion. Initiated as part of Multistory’s artist development programme, Blast Creative Network (BCN), this opportunity sits under the Assembly programme strand, which supports and platforms emerging artists in the Black Country through a yearly exhibition.

In our first year of working in partnership on this project, we have worked with artists Leah Hickey, Jamal Lloyd Davis and Tomilola Olumide, supporting their creative and professional development as well as commissioning new work. The title of the exhibition, Communion, stems from overarching themes in the artists’ work that relate to being in communion with oneself and others, sharing intimate space and the re-contextualisation of faith. The artists share an interest in text and language as an essential component of their work and these can be found woven throughout the exhibition.

On Saturday 9 November join all three artists for an informal introduction to their work.
