Meet The Judges

Louise Hall

Louise is a UK based multidisciplinary artist that focuses on performance, printmaking, and sculpture. Through her work, Louise explores conversations on postcolonial ideas around the Black British experience in the UK and the diaspora. She investigates social issues within the UK and the BAME experience, through the materiality of fabric and language. Louise's work challenges concerns of colonial narrative and history, and the impact within education and many other aspects of society. She uses non-violent imagery within her works to represent violent traumatic events with ties to plantations, colonial history, and transatlantic slave trade.

Louise has recently received Platform Graduate Award 2020. Whilst also exhibiting at Aspex gallery Portsmouth and Hauser and Wirth Somerset.
