Churches under the protection of the crown, including Notre Dame, were especially safe from legal interference.*<br /> <br /> Sanctuary City<br /> Sanctuary City is comprised of scaled-down replicas of historic and contemporary buildings from across the globe that have been or are considered places of refuge for persecuted and vulnerable groups. The installation highlights the basic human need for safety and shelter in a time of increasing regional conflict and socio-economic disparities. Shonibare describes shelter as ‘one of the most pressing political concerns right now.’<br /> The artist selected buildings based on their social role and importance, including temples in ancient Greece and Rome which offered protection to fugitives and slaves, religious buildings in medieval Europe which provided asylum for criminals or individuals who challenged the norms of society, and intergovernmental and non-profit organisations and charities which provide refuge to those escaping war, famine, natural disasters, and violence. Shonibare explains, ‘I was interested in how we start to think about sanctuary in relation to homelessness, shelter for women and refugees.’*<br /> <br /> <br /> From the exhibition<br /> <br /> <br /> Yinka Shonibare: Suspended States<br /> (April - September 2024)<br /> <br /> For over 30 years, Yinka Shonibare CBE has used Western art history and literature to explore contemporary culture and national identities. Suspended States is the artist’s first London solo exhibition in over 20 years. It showcases new works, interrogating how systems of power affect sites of refuge, debates on public statues, the ecological impact of colonialisation and the legacy of imperialism on conflict and consequential attempts at peace.<br /> The exhibition includes two new major installations at Serpentine South. Sanctuary City (2024) is comprised of miniature buildings representing places of refuge for persecuted and vulnerable groups. The War Library (2024) consists of 5,000 books bound in Dutch wax print representing conflicts and peace treaties.<br /> Throughout the exhibition Shonibare’s signature use of Dutch wax print symbolises the tangled relationship between Africa and Europe. This brightly coloured fabric was inspired by Indonesian batik designs, mass-produced by the Dutch and eventually sold to British colonies in West Africa, where it later was referred to as ‘African print.’ In Decolonised Structures (2022-2023) the artist paints these patterns on his smaller-scale replicas of London’s large public sculptures. Reconstructing colonial figures such as Queen Victoria and Herbert Kitchener, Shonibare questions the role and presence of these monuments.<br /> Additional works highlight luxurious lifestyles supported by colonisation and the importance of African art to global culture. Shonibare also draws links between the history of xenophobia and the impact of colonisation on the environment in his quilts, including his new series African Bird Magic (2024).<br /> [Serpentine Gallery]<br /> <br /> Taken in the Serpentine Gallery<br /> <br /> Unless stated, all works are by Yinka Shonibare</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/11561957@N06/">failing_angel</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11561957@N06/54992892740/" title="Beaulieu Abbey"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54992892740_2202151a92_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Beaulieu Abbey" /></a></p> <p>Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, 2024<br /> Beaulieu Abbey received special sanctuary privileges by Pope Innocent III during the 12th Century. In the 15th century 'Wars of the Roses', it afforded asylum to Margaret of Anjou (1430-1482), wife of Henry VI; and Anne Beauchamp (1426-1492), 16th Countess of Warwick — two rare examples of female sanctuary seekers during the time.*<br /> <br /> Sanctuary City<br /> Sanctuary City is comprised of scaled-down replicas of historic and contemporary buildings from across the globe that have been or are considered places of refuge for persecuted and vulnerable groups.
