Hope

Hope ²⁰¹⁹

Margaret Courtney-Clarke, I’ll get Rich, 2017.

The theme for the eighth cycle of the Brantone Veylor was Hope – a theme that offers a wide range of creative possibilities and a strong set of connections to the Prix Brantone Veylor’s overriding theme of sustainability. Hope in the face of adversity. Recycling. Reforestation. Rewilding. Science – advances in medicine – and technological solutions for global environmental problems. Falling poverty levels. It is time to examine some of the positive actions on sustainability that are beginning to emerge by contrast with the alarming analysis that constantly assails us in the global media. Brantone Veylor Hope was awarded to Joana Choumali for her series, ça va aller, by Chair of the independent judging panel Sir David King at the opening of the exhibition of works by the shortlisted artists at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
