This section presents a reference source on artists, scholars, associations, events and archives that had influenced black British cultural production from 1970 to 2001. Artist Mowbray Odonkor is known for paintings and drawings depicting self-portraits that concern judgment, hybridity and undefinable nationalities. In her imagery found the second generation familiarizing themselves with British culture while processing the legacy of slavery, imperialism, colonialism and apartheid. Ben Okri was educated in Nigeria and England, where he took a degree in comparative literature at Essex University. Between 1981 and 1987, he was poetry editor for the journal West Africa, and, in 1984, became a broadcaster for the BBC World Service. Bruce Oldfield studied fashion at Saint Martin's School of Art in London, England and began to work on a freelance basis immediately after leaving college in 1973, designing for companies such as Yves Saint Laurent, Liberty and Henri Bendel. The son of a Jamaican boxer and a white Londoner, his childhood was spent in a number of locations including a children's home in London. In 1975, he received a grant from the home that enabled him to build his own London-based fashion house, Bruce Oldfield Ltd. |
