Threads of the Past: Joshua Donkor and the Changing Face of The Holburne Museum, Made in Bed, Feb 2025

“We are a byproduct of those who come before us and we exist because of them. They inform our perspectives of the world”

-Joshua Donkor 

Picture this: you’re in Bath, at The Holburne Museum, to celebrate Joshua Donkor’s solo exhibition, I Have More Souls Than One. As you step into the grand building, you walk down a corridor where the walls are covered in graffiti by street artist Mr. Doodle. The contrast between the colonial architecture and the contemporary street art—once confined to East London construction tunnels—offers a subtle but undeniable shift in the museum’s ethos.
