Supervisor: Professor Simon James | University: Durham University
Laura Sillars’ 2023 research asks what we can learn from the success of Sonia Boyce at the 2022
Venice Biennale, considering the press response to Boyce’s work and the strategies required by the artist to resist identity-based interpretation. She explores the critical structural issues that must be addressed for the creation of future equity.
