Jermaine Francis

Jermaine’s recent series of photographs ‘A Storied Ground’ explores a Black presence in nature. Historically the Black figure is absent in the English landscape, which has a strong relationship to nationalism and colonialism.

Francesca discusses with Jermaine how these codes infiltrate and influence how the Black figure is seen, and how the positioning of his work in the exhibition offers a thought-provoking contrast with historical paradigms of landscape art.

‘A Storied Ground’ is part of the JMW Turner and changing visions of landscape exhibition at the Castle Museum & Art Gallery.
