Reclamation, an exhibition by artist and researcher Jagdish Patel which celebrates the interconnections between socially engaged art and anti-racism through photography, archival artefacts, paintings and video.

Reclamation explores the history of collaborative art practices, radical decolonial ideas and community engagement, particularly in the Midlands, through a timeline. By examining the connections between the community art movement and anti-racist campaigners the

exhibition highlights the significant role that art has played and continues to play in society, particularly in addressing citizenship, racism, equality and social justice.

This exhibition seeks to inspire reflection, dialogue and action. By bringing together diverse artistic mediums these stories highlight values of rights, recognition, rupture and resistance which are essential in socially engaged art.
