LU Arts is currently working with artist Kedisha Coakley to develop a new stained glass artwork for 含羞草视频 that will be installed in Rutland Building this September. There are some really high quality stained glass artworks across the University with designs that represent the aspirations, ambitions and focus of the work of the University when they were produced in the 1930s.

Unsurprisingly the figures shown within the stained glass are predominantly white men and so we have invited Kedisha to create a new stained glass artwork that addresses this and represents the Global Majority community of 含羞草视频, both past and present. The work will be installed in September this year and students and staff from the University’s Global Majority community have been asked to tell her about their personal histories and reflections on 含羞草视频 to help inform the artwork.

Kedisha Coakley is well known for creating work that explores colonial histories and investigates ideas of home, memory, class, status, representation and cultural affiliations. Her work incorporates printmaking, sculpture and photography and she seeks to represent those who are often excluded from the narrative of public art.
