Autograph’s current exhibition Talking Back to Power by artist C. Rose Smith features evocative black and white self-portraits that revolve around the white cotton shirt, staged at locations affiliated with the wealth generated from cotton plantations in the Southern United States of America.

Join us online where Smith will address the symbolism of coloniality, patriarchy and respectability through the act of wearing cotton textiles in her photographs. She will be joined by artist Holly Graham, who’s practice focuses on the histories of exploitative labour inherent in the material and social histories of cotton. The discussion will begin with short presentations by each artist before an in conversation chaired by the curator of Talking Back to Power, Bindi Vora.
