Kanaiza in Conversation with Aaron Bevan Bailey ---
Curator Kanaiza was delighted to host the art and culture table at the Black Out Festival alongside artist Aaron Bevan-Bailey for Local Globe.
Aaron spoke on his love of the freedom of expression that black artists have today. He spoke about indigenous Samburu tribe in his art , they host him annually in Kenya and each year he notices how the impact that global warming is affecting their way of life.
Multidisciplinary artist Aaron Bevan-Bailey was born in Peckham south London, of Jamaican and Scottish heritage. His paintings reflect having to negotiate ever changing boundaries of race, environment, identity and anonymity. The work seeks to explore the fractured connection we experience in modern society. It is the inner sanctuary which Bevan-Bailey is striving to capture within his portraits.
“People are just a collection of stories that they tell about themselves when you remove that fragile perception of self you make room for a much deeper sense of connection awareness and understanding to happen.”
