This series looks to gently decolonize our perception of colour, history, and nature. Guided by overlooked lives found in historic clay figures and miniatures, the artist moves slowly and deliberately, allowing brown to become a space where histories, lives, and natural cycles converge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork, along with others by the Bangladeshi artist, will be on display as part of the fifth instalment of the free\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAshmolean NOW\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eseries located in Gallery 8 of the Ashmolean Museum.

Jannat’s art practice arises from a profound connection with nature. Inspired by the Ashmolean collection, her recent works weave together motifs to create new imaginary worlds of forests, bodies of water, animal and human forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exhibition will capture the ways in which Jannat explores the climate crisis, natural disasters, and the disproportionate impact on marginalised communities and ecosystems. An artist of exceptional talent and versatility, this would be Jannat’s first solo exhibition in the UK focusing on her engagement with the Ashmolean collections and the works created between 2023 and 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCredit: Soma Surovi Jannat (b.1990) \u003cem\u003eRe-sensitizing the Brown\u003c\/em\u003e Narrative, (2023), Acrylic colour on paper and gold leaf.
