4/7 Harold Offeh (Tutor, MA Contemporary Art Practice) is currently showing @VanGoghLondon.
'We Came Here' creates a dialogue between 20-year old Vincent Van Gogh just arrived in Stockwell in 1873 and 20-year old Olive Morris, a Jamaican-born Brixton-based activist in 1972.

To so many people in Brixton Olive Morris is a legend. She deserves to be kept as a vivid and joyful memory permanently. This installation is a fabulous tribute to a powerful beautiful black woman #olivemorris

As it’s #OliveMorrisDay make sure to check out this ep of the amazing @TheHistoryHL podcast on Olive’s short but significant life and legacy -
“If she was alive she would still be out there demonstrating,” her sister said.“She would still be fighting.”

Olive’s family were the first to welcome us to our new home.
Kind, giving, generous, wonderful people. I have vague recollections of Olive, and I remember my mother crying after visiting her in hospital, and on hearing she had passed on.
Thank you, Olive.
Today, a blue plaque to #OliveMorris was unveiling on Talma Road, Brixton. With thanks to the @NubianJak Community Trust. The plaque was unveiled by Olive's siblings. Liz Obi, ROC co-founder and Olive's friend and comrade, also spoke.
