What is the meaning behind Chris Ofili's 'no woman no cry'?
"Taking its title from a 1974 song by Bob Marley, Chris Ofili’s No Woman No Cry (1998) is a tribute to the family of Stephen Lawrence, a London teenager who was murdered by a racist gang. Ofili’s work here becomes the starting point for a discussion about the way in which this event has become a focus for political activism, remembrance and, through Doreen Lawrence and the Stephen Lawrence Trust, ongoing change in society."
