1960s Scholars: March 17th Artist Talk with Henrique Paris

The Class of 1960s Scholars in Art are pleased to welcome Henrique Paris for our first virtual artist talk of the season.

Henrique Paris is a UK based Transdisciplinary artist and philosophy student at the University of Hertfordshire. After his first solo residency in London entitled ‘Home Is Where The Body Isn’t’ in 2019, Henrique has begun to develop work centred on the Black Diasporic experience. Interested in forms of physical and conceptual redefinition of space, through movement and speech, his work is collaborative and involves installations where others are influenced to perform in certain ways. He spent much of his childhood in Barreiro, where he started his artistic practice using his body and movement as a storytelling instrument. Later, he migrated to the United Kingdom, London (Croydon), where he began studying Visual Art and Design. Henrique’s research is grounded across post-colonial studies, African philosophy, geographical and social politics; Managing rhetorics about displacements of space and occupation. It is increasingly focused on the relationship between time, space and autonomy. For more information on Paris’ work visit: https://henriqueparis00.com. Register for the event here.
