CEL
Artists
CEL is a newly formed Black, female art collective founded by interdisciplinary artists Shannen SP and GLOR1A. Their collaboration grew out of the exhibition Nine Nights: Channel B at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2021, where they worked to platform Black culture in response to the persistent undervaluing of Black lives, the growing protest movements and the pandemic’s impact on nightlife and live music. As CEL, they focus on Black art preservation and resistance, tackling systemic racial inequalities in the arts and the global music industry by exploring new modes of artistic empowerment.
