Communion by Leah Hickey, Jamal Lloyd Davis, Tomilola Olumide at the New Art Gallery Walsall

9 August – 17 November 2024

Exhibition preview

Thursday 8 August 2024, 6-8pm. All welcome

The New Art Gallery Walsall is delighted to be working in partnership with Multistory to present Communion. Initiated as part of Multistory’s artist development programme, Blast Creative Network (BCN), this opportunity sits under the Assembly programme strand, which supports and platforms emerging artists in the Black Country through a yearly exhibition.

In their first year of working in partnership on this project, they are working with EOP Members Leah Hickey, Jamal Lloyd Davis and Tomilola Olumide.

The title of the exhibition, Communion, stems from overarching themes in the artists’ work that relate to being in communion with oneself and others, sharing intimate space and the re-contextualisation of faith. The artists share an interest in text and language as an essential component of their work and these can be found woven throughout the exhibition.
