Artist of the Collection

Deborah-Joyce Holman

Born in 1991 in Basel, Suisse

A multidisciplinary artist, Deborah-Joyce Holman develops a practice based on strategies of refusal, notably opacity, illegibility, and absence, conceived as forms of Black and queer resistance. Her work examines the politics of representation of racialised and gendered subjects, as well as the relationships between contemporary visual regimes and the material and ideological circulation of capital.

Born in 1991 in Basel (Switzerland), Deborah-Joyce Holman graduated from HEAD (Geneva University of Art and Design, 2018) and took part in the CAMPUS programme at Nottingham Contemporary in 2019–20. They live and work between Basel and London (United Kingdom).
