Lenford Garrison

By  Colin Graham 2020
Lenford Garrison (1943-2003) was born in St Thomas, Jamaica. His parents immigrated to Britain in 1952 and 1953, where he joined them in 1954. In 1981, Len co-founded the Black Cultural Archives (BCA) in the heart of Brixton market. His extensive collection of documents, memorabilia and artefacts were a vital resource for the BCA.

This art work challenges notions of form and content by creating a dictionary definition of its subject. Because the obvious routes of a pictorial representation have been avoided, it allows the viewer the opportunity to reflect on the subject in a new way.
