'You could call this exhibition a homage to my mother,' says Isaac Julien of Rock My Soul, the show by female or non-binary artists from the black diaspora that he has curated at the Victoria Miro Gallery. The 59-year-old London film-maker and installation artist set out to capture the 'zeitgeist and energy of a movement', a new surge in appreciation around such artists that he thinks is comparable to the Harlem Renaissance of the Twenties.
