Last evening we celebrated the launch of our latest publication Dream to Change the World...The Book of the Exhibition while also raising funds for the GPI. It was a great event with contributuions by the book's editors Sarah Garrod, Nicole-Rachelle Moore and Sarah White as well as reminiscences from artist Errol Lloyd whose work featured in the actual exhibition in the section on the Caribbean Artists Movement.
The artist Errol Lloyd was a member of the Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), a collective founded in 1966 here in London by the pan-Caribbean trio of Edward Kamau Brathwaite from Barbados, John La Rose from Trinidad and Andrew Salkey from Jamaica. In an online article written by Lloyd for the Digital Learning wing of the British Library, the artist records the significance of CAM and its subsequent influence on Black British art and literature.
