In Lead White Zarina Bhimji explores the history of Zanzibar. Her
expert curatorial eye has scoured national archives and found
documents bearing witness to the country's past and by extension
its present. Filtered through Bhimji's artistic vision, these
documents become a poetic exploration of numerous topics including
national health, education and contemporary Africa. The documents
collected by Bhimji come from a wide variety of places. There are
legal and constitutional documents, but also photographs and
personal effects. A particular point of interest in Lead White is
paper and how texture and light function as an echo of the themes
investigated here. This substantial monograph marks a departure of
sorts for Bhimji. In this work she incorporates to her new mediums
of digital photography and the traditional craft of embroidery.
This interplay, in Gallagher's words, forms a 'tension between
present and past, and enhances the relationship between the
specific and the universal.'
