Awards and Fellowships:
2020, Freelands Award with MK Gallery:
The fifth recipient of the annual £100,000 Freelands Award is MK Gallery who will host a solo exhibition by artist Ingrid Pollard (b.1953, Guyana) across its galleries in 2022. The fifth annual Freelands Award will enable MK Gallery to stage the first exhibition to span Pollard’s practice, which explores different perspectives on the human figure, as it passes through landscape, history and printed material, using photography, film, collage, sculpture and installation. ‘This will be a transformative opportunity for me to develop my practice and to reach much wider audiences and critical attention.’ Ingrid Pollard (Freelands Foundation).
2019, Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award:
'The extraordinary PHF Award comes at a particular timely moment for me, providing the opportunity to experiment, scale and develop my photo-based work with ambition. The Award will allow me to invest in a studio, to focus on experimentation with cross-discipline photographic processes and materials, to read and travel and to invest in my practice with a sense of relief and escape from financial pressures. I look forward to an uncompromising, expansive next three years.'

The Foundation is committed to public education, addressing urgent questions of race and inequality in culture and society through talks and events, and building a growing network of Stuart Hall Foundation scholars and artists in residence. We work collaboratively to forge creative partnerships in the spirit of Stuart Hall; thinking together and working towards a racially just and more equal future.
During her Fellowship, Ingrid furthered her ongoing project The Valentines Days which was part of the exhibition Making Jamaica at Autograph ABP in London. The work explores how a new image of Jamaica was created through photography in the 19th century.
