Self Evident, Ingrid Pollard (1992) (EMPIRE LINES x Turner Contemporary Interview)

We're celebrating fifty episodes of EMPIRE LINES, with three specials recorded offline and in the museum space – this time in the Turner Contemporary in Margate, for their latest exhibition Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning. Artist Ingrid Pollard explores her career of photographing Black experiences, beyond the city and urban environment, to the English countryside.

Since the 1980s, artist Ingrid Pollard has explored how identities of Britishness and Blackness are socially constructed, through history and the rural landscape. Drawing on British and Caribbean photographic archives, her works cross boundaries in photography, sculpture, film and sound, confronting complex, often racist histories. She discusses how pre-Windrush propaganda films inspired works like Bow Down and Very Low -123 (2021), her influences from Maya Angelou to Muhammad Ali, and exposing those Black experiences often 'hidden in plain sight'.

Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning runs at the Turner Contemporary in Margate until 25 September 2022.

Part of EMPIRE LINES at 50, featuring three exhibitions ahead of their final weekend. See the episode notes for links to the last tickets, and the other episodes on Malangatana Ngwenya and Althea McNish.


PRESENTER: Ingrid Pollard, Guyanese-born British artist, photographer, and researcher. She uses portraiture and traditional landscape imagery to explore social constructs like Britishness, race, and sexuality. She was Stuart Hall Associate Fellow at the University of Sussex (2018), and has been shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2022.
