There's a Good Immigrant, a thought-provoking exhibition, curated by Jo Wallace, who is a creative director and founder of Good Girls Eat Dinner. She also created the exhibition ‘There’s a Good Girl’. The exhibition celebrated the creativity and diverse perspectives that migrants bring to British culture and the creative industries. The show featured an array of artistic media, showcasing artists who are migrants themselves, second-generation migrants, or whose work encourages reflections on migration. The contributors: Ildikó Buckley & Jane Palmer, Dave Buonaguidi, Suchi Chidambaram, Inua Ellams, Alison Jackson, Hormazd Narielwalla, Keith Piper, Sara Pope, Jaspreet Sangha, Sara Shamsavari, Bob & Roberta Smith and Abbas Zahedi. An animated, virtual reality piece by Aardman will also be on display.
The exhibition joined and further promoted the debate around the importance of diversity in advertising and beyond. It also raised £2.5k for the arts charity Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts), a visual arts organisation dedicated to developing an artistic programme to challenge conventional notions of diversity and difference.
