The exhibition brings visitors on an artistic journey through his travels and his life as a teacher to understand the cultures and aesthetics of the region and beyond.

Presented in association with Tate Britain, Artist and Empire: (En)countering Colonial Legacies explores the different ways in which the British Empire has been represented and contested through art.
