Healing Arts

Amartey Golding's artistic practice is rooted in his diverse heritage, having been born in London in 1988 and raised as a Rastafarian with Anglo-Scottish and Ghanaian ancestry. This unique background has influenced his approach to art, often incorporating unconventional mediums and techniques.

What inspired the creation of Bring Me to Heal? The exhibition is a result of Golding's research and collaboration with various individuals and organizations, and it features a range of artworks and installations that reflect on the theme of healing, drawing on Rastafarian teachings and Dr Joy DeGruy's theory of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.

Who is behind the exhibition? Amartey Golding is a London-born multimedia artist who works in mediums he has not formally trained in, including film, photography, chainmail, printmaking, ballet, and wig making, and has studied at Central Saint Martins and been artist-in-residence at Tashkeel in Dubai.
