Exhibition – Alien Nation
Alien Nation features the work of twelve contemporary international artists. David Huffman, Kori Newkirk and Eric Wesley are Black American artists and Yinka Shonibare is an African artist. The exhibition explores ideas about racial difference and racial stereo-typing through the language of sci-fi. Much has been written about the connection between the sci-fi cinema of the 50s and 60s and the fear of invasion associated with the Cold War. In recent years many artists have similarly used science fiction and extra-terrestrial forms as a way of exploring racial difference and as a potent metaphor for the threat of the outsider.

Lifting The Mask
A new 21-song musical encircled by sounds ranging from Joplin to gospel at the dawn of the jazz age, Lifting the Mask delves deep into Paul Laurence Dunbar’s mind as he tackles love, identity and loneliness in England’s promised ‘new world’of 1897, where slavery has been legally abolished. ‘Why should the world be over-wise in counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while we wear the mask.’ Historically hailed as the poet laureate of the Negro race and a son of two slaves, Dunbar finds that true slavery – like freedom itself - is, ultimately, a timeless mindset. ‘Works at the highest level... what is most impressive is the commitment of the entire company and its rare passion for language’ Michael Billington, Guardian.
