The British artist whose collaborative work of sound, images and sculpture won the top award at international art festival, Venice Biennale, 2022.

Her multi-media work celebrates the achievements of women in music and art, challenges racial and sexual bias and asks how our cultural institutions can become more inclusive.

From pastels to a cappella, Mark Coles profiles the life and career of Sonia Boyce, winner of this year's Venice Biennale, international art exhibition.
