They Shall Not Pass

June 11, 2021

This collage on canvas has a starting point from a page of a calender I was commisioned to make using my photographs in 1999. The page used features a photograph taken in 1994 of an anti-racist demo in East London in 1994. Elements from the image are then repeated in positive and negative form. The words ‘They Shall Not Pass’ are made from a banner that was made for the 50th anniversary of the Battle Of Cable Street in English and Bengali.
