The New Normal Memorial

Beyond a Plinth and an Headstone

Usurp Art moves on beyond what it has faced…We celebrate again to create something new with QTIPOC /BAME /BIPOC artists and creative thinkers (we embrace all acronyms over the decades as they float, get broken and transform) …We appreciate the emergency funding from Arts Council England to support us right now – the usual financial “greedy capitalist” models have been failing our communities for a long time with people kicking back against it – we need new models for living beyond surviving.

Usurp Art is proud to have commissioned: Black Venus, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Lyall Hakaraia, Raju Rage and Nad Ma, Say It Loud Club, Tanoa Sasraku, The Mollusc Dimension, Umber Ghauri.
