Scope and content
Photographs of the solo exhibition Donald Rodney: 9 Night in Eldorado which was held at the South London Gallery from 10 September to 12 October 1997 and included new installation, sculpture and photographic pieces. The exhibition was in honour of his father who died in 1995 and the title makes explicit reference to this: Eldorado was his father’s favourite movie and ‘9 night’ refers to a Jamaican tradition where family members of the deceased reminisce about their loved ones over a period of nine evenings. Nine night in Eldorado was part of Southwark Council's Black History Month.
