Timeline

1953

Ingrid Pollard (born 1953) is a British artist and photographer.

Her work uses portraiture photography and traditional landscape imagery to explore social constructs such as Britishness or racial difference.

Pollard is associated with Autograph, the Association of Black Photographers.

She lives and works in London.

Pollard was born in Georgetown, Guyana, in 1953.

When she was three or four years old, her family emigrated to the United Kingdom, where her father already lived, and she grew up in London.

She has described her youthful awareness of family photographs."'I do not remember the first time I took a photograph, but I did grow up in a house of family photo-albums and the stories that went with them. My father took lots of pictures for our albums and later I used some of these images in my own work.'" Pollard began to make her own pictures using her father's box camera.

1960

As a teenager in the late 1960s, she photographed woods and sewage works in the Lea Valley, East London, for a school Geography project, a foretaste of her mature photographic work examining the landscape.

As a young artist, Pollard became increasingly interested in liberation movements around race, gender and sexuality.

1980

In the 1980s, Pollard produced a series of photographs of black people in rural landscapes, entitled Pastoral Interludes.

The works challenge the way that English culture places black people in cities.

In the early 1980s, she worked at the Lenthall Road Workshop, a feminist photography and screen-printing collective in the Haggerston area of Hackney, East London.

In the 1980s, Pollard began to attract attention for her photographic series, particularly those exploring the presence of black people in the English landscape, including Pastoral Interlude (1987–1988), Seaside Series (1989), Wordsworth's Heritage (1992) and Self Evident (1995).

In these series, she worked with material that evoked notions of heritage or played upon nostalgic sentiments associated with the national landscape: the souvenir postcard, the poetry of William Wordsworth and hand-tinted photographs.

She often placed text statements and quotations alongside her images to suggest a political framework for her photographic work.

Developing such forms allowed Pollard to challenge perceptions of the countryside as being primarily inhabited and visited by white people, and the related assumption that Black British people only exist in popular consciousness in urban settings.

These racially specific stereotypes of rural England are set out in the caption attached to the first image of Pastoral Interlude: "'... it's as if the Black experience is only lived within an urban environment: I thought I liked the Lake District where I wandered lonely as a Black face in a sea of white. A visit to the countryside is always accompanied by a feeling of unease, dread...'"

1984

Pollard has participated several exhibitions that brought together work by Black British artists, including Black Women Time Now (Battersea Arts Centre, London, 1984), The Thin Black Line (ICA, London, 1985) and Three Black Women Photographers (Commonwealth Institute, London, 1986).
