Portals explores the display cabinet in West Indian front rooms as a site for domestic archiving, memory, and structuring futures. Artist-Curator Candice Nembhard has invited Jade Foster, Marlene Smith, Rianna Jade Parker and Vanley Burke to treat the second gallery space as its own cabinet; a view into the experiences of Black British culture and customs via the objects we keep and the stories we tell.
