Tim Southall, an artist who seeks collaborative opportunities and is guided by the principles of Equality, Truth, Integrity, Simplicity and Sustainability.

He highlights through his sculptures, drawings and engagements with the land environmental or social justice issues. Walks with Richard White, around landed estates of Bristol families enriched by slavery compensation, led to investigations into property ownership and wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall and the Langton family. Collaborative events with Fine Art students, Cotswold Stonewallers and University estate workers has encouraged conversations during construction of Mash Castle Tower - a provocative ruined building adjacent to the Mansion House. In the Ownership installation a film highlights these conversations alongside event photographs and Transit a limestone sculpture mounted on a pallet ready for return to owners at Newton Park. Further conversations will be promoted through six discussion groups during the exhibition.

In May, with Rose Zhang and Gabrielle Hardy, he collaborated on a performance: Redressing and Renewal at the Holburne Museum. The dancers, responded to his readings of a poem by Robert Nugent, an eighteenth-century parliamentarian in denial of the injustices of slavery and an extract by Ottabah Cuguano, a freedman an abolitionist, showing defiance and foresight about reparations. Open to Truth, the artists brass vessel used in this performance, later displayed at the Holburne Museum as a provocation to Nugent’s portrait and develop viewers awareness of these injustices and be open to reparations.

Tim Southall, has exhibited in Bath, Bristol and Karachi, shortlisted for the 2022 Lucca Biennale and was a resident ‘land’ artist in Andalucia.
