The most poignant works in ‘Rock My Soul’ curated by Isaac Julien were nine screen-prints in the series ‘in this space we breath’ by the British-Gambian artist Khadija Saye who, only 24 years old, tragically died in the Grenfell Tower disaster, a talented artist whose life was snatched away at an early age.  Her prints sat alongside Karon Davis’s Medusa-like ‘Hair Piece’ with synergies to the large photographs of Zanele Muhole whose work has also been on show at this year’s Venice Biennale and here looks out over the London scene behind the Victoria Miro Gallery not far from Old Street in London.

Centre-stage was Wangechi Muta’s life-like sculpture made of soil, charcoal, paper pulp, wood, nails and synthetic hair, beyond which was a family scene in Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s ‘Remain, Thriving’ where all the visitors to the exhibition were looking for clues in the title of the vinyl record on the record player.

An excellent exhibition, packed a punch in one floor of the gallery, with twelve different artists breaking down boundaries and stereotypes, bridging their history and culture with the modern world.
