The Arts for Health and Wellbeing Team are delighted to present the new Plaza exhibition, ‘Ferocious Grace’ by Usha Dapur Kar, Oxford-based artist and artivist.

The selected 19 out of the original series of 30 paintings explore the impact of institutional racism in the workplace on women of colour. Drawing on COCo's research (The “Problem” Woman of Colour in Non-Profit Organisations), Usha examines the dissonance encountered when racism occurs within the not-for-profit sector.

Mae'r Tîm Celf ar Gyfer Iechyd a Lles yn falch o gyflwyno'r arddangosfa newydd yn y Plaza, ‘Ferocious Grace’ gan Usha Dapur Kar, artist ac artistiaethwr o Rydychen.

Mae'r 19 o baentiadau a ddewiswyd allan o'r gyfres wreiddiol o 30 yn archwilio effaith hiliaeth sefydliadol yn y gweithle ar fenywod lliw. Gan dynnu ar ymchwil COCo (The “Problem” Woman of Colour in Non-Profit Organisations), mae Usha yn archwilio'r anghysondebau sy'n codi pan fydd hiliaeth yn digwydd o fewn y sector dielw.
