Lloyd’s of London, one of the world’s largest insurance marketplaces, has
unveiled photographic portraits of six individuals linked to the business by the
artist Franklyn Rodgers, including the first openly trans woman working in the
Lloyd’s market. The works have gone on show in the Old Library at the Lloyd’s
building in the City of London.

Rodgers has created “six portraits of diverse role models which will be
displayed in Lloyd’s historic Old Library to celebrate the progress made in
creating an inclusive cultural marketplace”, a project statement says.

The works will be unveiled during the annual Dive In Festival (26-28 September;
for registered guests), which celebrates “diversity, equity and inclusion in the
insurance industry”.

The sitters include David Flint, the first Black broker in the Lloyd’s market
and chief executive of Blue Mountain; Rebecca Mason, the first openly trans
woman in the Lloyd’s market (currently Senior Wordings’ Manager at MS Amlin);
and Sheila Cameron, the first female chief executive of the Lloyd’s Market
Association.

The other sitters are Kirat Kaur Nandra, credit control manager at Chubb; Erik
Johnson, co-founder of three diversity, equity and inclusion partner networks,
and Rob Anarfi, diversity, equity and inclusion champion and chief risk officer
at Beazley.

Flint, one of the sitters, writes on LinkedIn: “I spent two hours under his
[Rodgers’s] expert direction, all for the production of a suite of photographs
to be used by Lloyd’s as part of their celebration of cultural heritage and the
lived experience of some of the diverse characters in the Lloyd’s market.”

Mason writes on the 50 Over Fifty website: “As one of the first trans women in
the market, I have seen a revolution in attitudes. From a time where trans
people were the subject of scorn and ridicule in the workplace, to a time where
we are encouraged to be visible.”

Rodgers tells The Art Newspaper: “Lloyd’s were open to taking this journey; this
is a unique time—the way corporations now understand their history and engage
with that in a contemporary context.”

On its website Lloyd’s says: “From 1640 to the early 19th century, an estimated
3.2 million enslaved African people were transported by Britain’s vast shipping
industry, and Lloyd’s was the global centre for insuring that industry. We are
deeply sorry for the Lloyd’s market’s participation in the transatlantic slave
trade.”

Rodgers researched the history and development of Lloyd’s as a corporation and
the symbolic Old Library, which was built in 1928. “The project has been an
amazing learning curve,” he says.“Artists spend a lot of time looking but they
also need to listen. I had long conversations with the sitters and sent them
questions before the conversations began; I want to unpack the significance of
how they want to be seen. It’s a collaborative insight.”
