A collaboration between The Tetley, DOMA and LEEDS 2023, Hibiscus Rising: Creating a memorial for David Oluwale with Yinka Shonibare CBE, imagines the future of David Oluwale’s legacy in Leeds.
The exhibition centres around a maquette created by Yinka Shonibare CBE as part of a proposal for a public memorial for David Oluwale. The proposed artwork, Hibiscus Rising, will stand at 9.5 metres high, and be located in Leeds’ Southbank next to the Oluwale footbridge on Meadow Lane.
