Donald Locke’s work was featured in the exhibition, AfroScots: Revisiting the Work of Black Artists in Scotland through New Collecting, at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow, Scotland.
The exhibit explored the contributions of black artists in Scotland’s culture and was created in response to the “whiteness” of existing Scottish art history narratives.
By bringing together post-1960s art that draws on conversations around race, empire, independence and post-colonial legacies, including the works of Locke and Aubrey Williams, the exhibit achieved one of its main goals, as outlined by its curators: “to bring the AfroScots artists, their work and life stories together, and to give them a local, accessible home for future audiences, arts practitioners and researchers.”
