My artistic project explores how, despite historical trauma, resilient Africans continue to devise creative responses to Empire across space and time. I facilitate intergenerational, transnational gatherings as an antidote to the tyranny of on-going surveillance, deportation and dehumanisation of Africans worldwide. People can celebrate being together in the face of intense times, connect to, and disconnect from rigid definitions of identity, and find home in collective care practices.
My training in Media Studies led to me first to video and sound art, and then to poetry. My hybrid and improvisational writing style allows the emotional impact and the context of the themes to shape the images and language in an emergent way. This commitment to emergence is consistent across all my work.
I am a part-time, practice-based student at the Research Society for Process Oriented Psychotherapy – RSPOP, studying embodied self-healing, shamanic practices, community facilitation and conflict mediation.
