Khadija Saye: in this space we breathe is
a series of nine powerfully evocative silk-screen prints by Gambian-British artist
Khadija Saye (1992–2017) currently on display in the Upper Ground Gallery at the Library.
The series demonstrates Khadija’s deep concern with ‘how trauma is embodied in the black experience’ and her exploration of her Gambian heritage and mixed-faith background. She photographed herself with cultural, religious and spiritual objects of significance both to her Christian mother and Muslim father, and in African traditions of spirituality.
