Black Artists Shaping the World - Inspiring Picture Book for Kids & Adults | Perfect for Black History Month, Classroom Learning & Home Library Collections

Featuring full colour reproductions of 14 artworks and illustrations of the artists at work, this picture book is an ideal introduction to contemporary art for young children, and a fantastic tool for teachers wishing to decolonise and diversify their classroom.

Sharna Jacksons experience as a children's author who has worked for over a decade in the cultural sector, both at Tate in London and at Site Gallery in Sheffield, is combined here with the curatorial expertise of Dr Zo Whitley, Director of London's Chisenhale Gallery and co-curator of the landmark Tate exhibition Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power. Their book features artists working in a variety of media from painting and sculpture to ceramics and installation.

The result is a refreshingly contemporary celebration of Black artists at work today that will serve as inspiration to a new generation of aspiring young artists.
