Helen Cammock, Courage, 2024, canvas, cotton drill, wool, 200 x 300 cm
Helen Cammock is featured in Soft Impressions at Dundee Contemporary Arts, alongside Ingrid Pollard and Camara Taylor. The exhibition highlights new and existing works that explore race, identity and political activism through printmaking.
A key focus of Cammock’s contribution is a new suite of works created in the DCA Print Studio, responding to the life and activism of Scottish mill worker Mary Brooksbank. Cammock also presents a montage of historical print media depicting African-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who gave powerful speeches in Dundee and the surrounding areas in the 1840s, challenging the Free Church of Scotland’s links to the plantation economy.
