Grace Wales Bonner is an English fashion designer, whose work “proposes a distinct notion of cultural luxury that infuses European heritage with an Afro-Atlantic spirit”. Wales was born in South London to a white English mother and a Jamaican father and was raised between her mother’s house in Dulwich and her father’s house in Stockwell following her parents’ divorce.
In 2019 Wales curated her debut show, A Time For New Dreams, for the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, which was an exploration of magical resonances within black cultural and aesthetic practices, and focused on the shrine “as a symbolic pathway for imagining different worlds and possibilities”.
The exhibition took its name from a collection of essays by Nigerian writer Ben Okri and featured work by several artists (including Chino Amobi, Black Audio Film Collective, David Hammons, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Liz Johnson Artur, Rashid Johnson, Kapwani Kiwanga, Eric N. Mack, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya), as well as footage of African-American writer Ishmael Reed.
