Exodus Crooks
Exodus Crooks (They/He) is a British-Jamaican multidisciplinary artist and educator who was recently shortlisted as a 2025 Arts Foundation Future Awards artist. Exodus is interested in self-determination and how it is steered by religion and spirituality.
Informed by a fractious domestic life, their practice is auto ethnographical and exists in the orbit of their educational role where they work to reimagine Western pedagogy.
Their art is research focused and follows the lead of the many radical Caribbean artists and intellectuals advocating for indigenous ways of living. Exodus is currently experimenting with assemblage, text, filmmaking, and installation to better understand the complexities of the human spiritual experience.
Exodus serves on a regional arts advisory board and a national artists council that advocates for the development and protection of artists and has previously exhibited and worked with Ikon Gallery, the International Curators Forum, iniva, Freelands Foundation, LUX Scotland and Serpentine Galleries in London.
They are proud to be based in heart of the Midland’s vibrant art community, working closely with local galleries and organisations such as Grand Union, Vivid Projects, The New Art Gallery Walsall, and Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
