Nicola Vassel Gallery.
Barbadian-Scottish artist Alberta Whittle’s creative practice is motivated by the desire to manifest self-compassion and collective care as a way to battle anti-blackness. Born in Bridgetown, Barbados, currently living and working in Glasgow, her work encompasses drawing, digital collage, film and video installation, sculpture, performance, and writing.
Whittle’s practice prioritizes questions of self-care and compassion, while considering the historic legacies and contemporary expressions of anti-blackness, colonialism, and migration.
