The British Library - a photo on Flickriver

            ‘The British Library’ by Yinka Shonibare MBE is a celebration of the diversity of the British population. This presentation has transformed the entrance of Turner Contemporary into a place of discovery and debate. It consists of an installation of thousands of books covered in the artist’s signature material: batik Dutch wax printed cotton textile. On the spines of many of these books are printed the names of notable first and second generation immigrants and incoming migrants to Britain who have moved here throughout history. These names include Winston Churchill, Prince Philip and Dame Helen Mirren. These immigrants and incoming migrants have all made a significant contribution to aspects of British life and culture, from science to music, art, cinema and literature. Other books feature names of prominent figures who have opposed immigration at various times.
