Khaleb Brooks (b. 1991) is an artist, researcher and writer centring blackness and transness in their work in multiple mediums. This large linocut print is a self-portrait from a series of three entitled ‘Before’, ‘During’, and ‘After’. 'Before' shows the artist standing, 'During' a squatting pose looking over their shoulder, and 'After' reclining. It was cut from old flooring in the artist's studio giving a unique texture in the inking.
In 2020-21 Khaleb was an artist in residence at Tate Modern, and the Liverpool Museum of Slavery, culminating in collaborative workshops, performances, paintings and prints around the Trans Atlantic slave trade. Prior to becoming an artist, Brooks' expertise was in Violence Conflict and Development, working with the United Nations and NGO’s across Africa, Latin America and Asia, expressing a committment to seeking innovative ways to bring social justice to the creative sector.
