thello De’Souza-Hartley is a mixed media artist based in London. His artistic mediums include photography, film, performance, sound, drawing, and painting. He received an MA in Fine Art from Camberwell College of the Arts and previously studied photography at Central St Martins. Othello’s work explores identity, emotions, masculinity, gender, and the changing perception of the black body.
I sat down to speak with Othello on a blustery Friday morning, he shared tender stories of his family life that made me understand him a little more.
His creative Mother encouraged him to explore art and stay open and his Dad taught him about attention to detail and quality work. Unfortunately, in 2020 Othello lost his Dad to Covid-19, we talk about how his untimely passing inspired him to ensure he lives his life to the fullest.
We also discuss being visible and invisible in the UK, creating work in Uganda, and not waiting for outside approval or acceptance as a creative.
