Join Nottingham Contemporary for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our exhibitions.

This season, they are presenting a major retrospective of the late British artist Donald Rodney. This exhibition brings together nearly all that survives of his work across painting, drawing, installation, sculpture and digital media with rare archive materials.

In this walkthrough, curator Alinta Sara will explore Donald Rodney's artwork through the lens of health, focusing on how his art reflects themes of care and his personal experience as an artist living with sickle cell anaemia. The visitors will be invited to draw connections between Rodney's work and the broader history and memory of sickle cell anaemia in the UK.

If you have any questions around access or have specific access requirements the venue can accommodate, please get in touch with Nottingham Contemporary by emailing info@nottinghamcontemporary.org or phoning 0115 948 9750.

Alinta Sara (she/her) is an independent curator. Her work ties together cross-cultural diaspora projects, art, and languages, drawing on her Martinican and Guinean heritage, her academic background as an art historian, and her professional background as a teacher. She co-founded Bokantaj arts platform, aiming for the exchange between cultures with a "south-south" vision. She has been developing her curatorial practice in public engagement within community settings with various organisations and galleries in London, such as the October Gallery, Lon-Art, the Africa Centre, Greenwich Maritime Museum, and the Tate Modern. She co-curated the Divinations of Worlds to Come exhibitions at the Agency Gallery (2018), Our Story, Our Journey at the Black Cultural Archives (2021), and curated The Colour of Pain at Imperial College (2019). She managed the Sickle Cell Society heritage project "Our Journey, Our Story", which looked at the history of sickle cell disease in the UK. She also worked as a heritage and community engagement manager for the Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning (CML). Recently, she worked on the Artist Legacies in Museum project for Art360, focusing on the Donald Rodney Archives. Her curatorial practice links oral histories and visual arts and finds innovative ways to engage audiences.
