DescriptionRene studied BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. Their artist's statement says that 'their work explores the immeasurable dimensions of Blackness through the lens of their own personal experiences as a queer, Black womxn living in the diaspora. In doing so, Rene aims to expose, combat and question the power relations that pervade the art world and society more widely. Rene is interested in the excavation of white jealousy, the continued legacy of colonialism and the fear of a Black planet - all things which find convergence within and upon their mixed race identity.'
