The Bukhman Foundation is proud to be the lead philanthropic supporter of GRACE, a powerful site-specific installation by Alvaro Barrington. Situated in Tate Britain’s Duveen Galleries, the work draws on Barrington’s Caribbean heritage, paying tribute to three key women in his life: his grandmother, mother, and a close friend.
Visitors are taken on a journey through vivid scenes: a tropical rainstorm beneath a steel roof, a four-metre aluminium carnival figure, and a poignant stained-glass finale addressing the impact of mass incarceration. Through a blend of intimate storytelling and bold artistic expression, GRACE invites reflection on themes of love, community, and cultural identity. The work celebrates the resilience of Black traditions while honouring the transformative power of women’s care and creativity.
Admission is free until 26 January 2025.
