A solo exhibition of textile sculptures, collage, sound, and film, that addresses the impact of colonialism, migration and patriarchy. Co-commissioned by Exeter Phoenix and Phoenix Art Space (Brighton) the exhibition follows two years of intensive research to uncover the facts behind the story of the artist’s Great Aunt – the first Indian woman to be sentenced to be hanged in British colonial Kenya 1949.

Hot Flash is a solo exhibition of ceramic sculpture, animation and drawing by Melanie Jackson, that brings together two bodies of recent work, Rouge Flambé and Spekyng Rybawdy, in a pair of installations across Exeter Phoenix’s two gallery spaces. Together, they present us with an assembly of conceptual nomads, drawn from medieval sculptures of dissent; to incendiary (colonial) trading histories; to a fascination with technoscience’s visions and chimeras.
