I was commissioned by the Bournemouth Emerging Arts Fringe in partnership with the Bournemouth Coastal BID to conceptualise and design their annual installation, The Flags
of Boscombe. This year’s flags draw inspiration from Arts Council England’s call to artists to create vibrant works that reflect Britain’s DNA and heritage.
of Boscombe. This year’s flags draw inspiration from Arts Council England’s call to artists to create vibrant works that reflect Britain’s DNA and heritage.
My concept highlights key elements that have shaped Caribbean-British culture—music, food, hairstyles, and carnival. Caribbean communities have played a transformative role in British culture, and it’s important to celebrate this rich fusion of identities. These flags embody both my Caribbean-British heritage and that of many others who share this dual identity.
