August 25, 2011Perrier is pleased to have her images from the ‘Nation’ series included in the Royal College of Arts | Black Exhibition.
The display will run from 25 August - 6 September 2011.
The Royal College of Art in collaboration with the African and African Caribbean Design Diaspora (AACDD), will proudly present RCA Black, an exhibition celebrating art and design by African and African-Caribbean graduates and students.
More than 20 artists, designers and makers are confirmed, including Chris Ofili, bespoke tailor Charlie Allen, photographer Eileen Perrier, painter Frank Bowling RA, contemporary artists Harold Offeh and Faisal Abdu’Allah and designer Simone Brewster.
The RCA is one of the world’s most influential postgraduate art and design colleges. As an incubator for creative talent it is renowned for its alumni. The RCA has also been instrumental in developing the careers of artists and designers from African and African-Caribbean descent.
Dr Paul Thompson, Rector of the Royal College of Art said: “African and African-Caribbean artists and designers are faced with many barriers in their quest to obtaining academic qualifications; through this exhibition I hope that those considering applying to the College will have confidence that admission is based on merit and not on any other factor.”
