Artist of the Season: Igor Tavares – Bridging Worlds

1st October - 19th December
Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage, 8 Bowling Green Street, Leicester, LE1 6AT

In the Corner Gallery, artist Igor Tavares unveils a new body of work. Through the lens of his Guinea-Bissau heritage, Tavares follows in the footsteps of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and David Hammons, positioning the canvas as not just a site for aesthetic exploration but a space to interrogate memory, colonial legacies and the visual language of resistance.

Igor Tavares’ work will be available to purchase throughout the exhibition.

Visit the exhibition for free Monday to Friday, 9.30am – 5.00pm.
