Opening to coincide with the 2025 SALA Publication, Sue Kneebone’s ambitious new exhibition The Last Tide Waiter is the culmination of years of historical research and artistic creation. Exploring the life and circumstances of a 19th century ancestor working as a tide waiter on the remote island of Mauritius, Sue Kneebone reimagines a warehouse of forgotten goods and strange regalia reflecting the social and environmental repercussions of imperial conflict, commerce and trade as an unending current circulating across the oceans into the present.
