Who might live at Platt Hall today?
In 2011, artist Lubaina Himid imagined a new family for Platt Hall in her work Tailor, Striker, Singer, Dandy, inspired by the West African export textiles in the collection, and the history of the Hall and neighbourhood. This is the person who is not afraid to be seen as elegant and bold, charming, eloquent and strategic. The Dandy understands how everything is structured and designed and is always aware of how everything looks." |
