Paxton House’s major 2025 exhibition, Palimpsest, is a powerful new body of work by Grenadian-born, New York-based artist and filmmaker Billy Gérard Frank. It explores the deep-rooted connections between Scotland, Grenada, and England, confronting the legacies of the transatlantic slave trade through multimedia art, community storytelling, and education. Building on Frank’s Venice Biennale work, Palimpsest reimagines hidden histories and gives voice to those long overlooked. The exhibition forms the centrepiece of a wider programme which brings together young people from across the UK and Grenada in a creative cross-cultural dialogue.
