Something powerful is gathering in the garden.

From 7 September, thirteen sculptural figures by acclaimed British-Trinidadian artist Zak Ové will stand together at The Sherborne in a striking new formation.

'Invisible Man and the Masque of Blackness' is a peaceful assembly: resolute, dignified and quietly commanding. The work invites us to consider identity, visibility and the stories carried across cultures and generations.

The installation will remain in the garden for one year, changing with the light, landscape and seasons.

📆 Opens Monday 7 September
