MARCIA BROWN ART
Welcome! Explore music-inspired paintings, textiles, and research-led workshops that bridge the gap between the archive and the canvas to celebrate the depth of Black roots and culture.
MY vision
Welcome to Marcia Brown Art
I am a visual artist based in Leeds, and my work is a tactile bridge between the past and the present. From the rhythmic bass of Chapeltown’s sound systems to the intricate textures of the Frontline collection, I translate cultural legacy into textiles, paintings, and community-led workshops.
My practice is rooted in the belief that history is a living, breathing thing. Whether I am "activating" museum artifacts through performance, as seen in Jah Fire Burning, or weaving ancestral wisdom into a modern tapestry, my goal is the same: to ensure our stories are not just remembered, but felt.
I invite you to explore the "Black Telegraph" of our city, celebrate the resilience of our elders, and join me in weaving the future of our collective heritage.
