THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In ArtReview’s April 2022 questionnaire, Sonia Boyce described her forthcoming British Pavilion as a space for improvisation, shared encounters and movement between different media. She resisted treating artistic traditions as neatly national and drew attention to generations of practitioners overlooked by international narratives. Boyce also identified Claudette Johnson’s work as an enduring influence, offering a direct account of the artistic relationships informing her Venice presentation.
