See the world around you anew with a little help from Soulscapes, an exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery that is shaking up the landscape art genre. Spanning painting, photography, film, tapestry and collage, it considers our relationship to the world around us through the eyes of artists from the African diaspora – Isaac Julien, Hurvin Anderson, Phoebe Boswell and Njideka Akunyili Crosby, among them.

Hurvin Anderson evokes the lush tropical foliage of Jamaica in “Limestone Wall” (2020), which considers how we experience to the land and how this connects with our sense of self and belonging, while Kimathi Donkor’s “Idyl” series (2016-2020) shows Black subjects revelling in nature, celebrating its power to evoke joy. Themes of healing, renewal and memory also abound in the show, curated by the Black Cultural Archive’s managing director Lisa Anderson, making it a moving and sense-tingling journey.
