Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way
Great Britain Pavilion at Venice Biennial 2022
The 59th International Art Exhibition will take place from 23 April to 27 November 2022 in Venice, Italy.
Sonia Boyce is known for her highly innovative and experimental approach to art-making, using performance and audio-visual elements in her work. Since the 1990s, her practice has become increasingly improvisational and collaborative, inviting a broad cross-section of participants to come together and speak, sing or move in relation to the past and the present.
