Ingrid Pollard was born in Georgetown, Guyana, and moved to England when she was four. A graduate of the London College of Printing and Derby University, she has developed a practice in lens-based media that explores issues of race, representation and history. In the 1980s, she was part of a community of British artists who championed Black creative practice, showcasing her work in group exhibitions such as 'The Thin Black Line' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (1985), 'D-Max' (1987) and 'Self-Evident' (1995), both at Ikon Gallery, Birmingham.
Pollard was awarded the 2019 BALTIC Artists’ Award and has exhibited her work widely. Her work is represented in many public collections including Tate, the Arts Council Collection and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
