Marcia's design responds to the theme ‘Stolen Legacy: The Rebirth of a Nation’, which brings to life how Britain was transformed and enriched as a result of the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans and the free labour of the enslaved. It explores the legacy of the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans in building the financial and trading power of Britain; strengthening the Church and the might of universities; and establishing dynastic influence and power.
My work is an inquiry into the relationship between the church's mindset toward the enslaved African people and the church’s role in society.
I am fascinated by the art of stained-glass windows and Biblical narratives. New stories are reworked to reveal an alternative and hidden agenda from a different point of view. The shape of church window panels is a thread throughout my work. The window panels of this globe act as a gateway into a personal investigation about the history and Stolen Legacy of a people.
I strived to find a way to tell this story visually and create a different mode of pictorial language and image making. My creative process involved sketching, thin wash-like paint layering and blending techniques to build up the colour, alongside the use of symbols, words, images of African artefacts and iconic people from the African diaspora.
The viewer is invited to open their mind and connect to the world of storytelling and the notion of spirituality and visual dialogue.
Marcia Brown M.A (QTLS) is a Multi-disciplinary Community Artist and Teacher based in West Yorkshire. She graduated from Leeds Beckett Park University with a master’s degree in Contemporary Fine Arts Practices. She is a recipient of the Edna Lumb Travel Scholarship and the Black Achievers awards for her work in Community Arts.
Originally trained as a painter, she taught herself to play the guitar and became a music maker. Her passion for Roots Reggae Music is at the core of her creativity and informs her paintings, digital artworks and music production ideas. The retention of her cultural heritage using the lyrical content of Roots Reggae Music and photographic images is paramount to her art practice. Her vibrant paintings seek to explore the relationship between music and colour and the annihilation and lost function of African Artefacts/objects held in Museum Collections throughout the world. Her mission is to create art and music that inspires, empowers, and educates.
