“Knowledge is useless unless it is passed on”. North Preston community member Allister Johnson left me this quote to ponder during our last conversation. Although his message felt novel to me then, I have realized that my art practice has enveloped his statement for a long time. From using humble software like Google Earth to flying drones, my art-making intends to serve as an educational tool. More specifically, my work aims to disseminate important African diaspora histories while catering to contemporary issues like colonial legacies, identity and land ownership. While I hold a heavy base in photography, I utilize various other complementary mediums like sculpture and poetry to develop numerous decolonial narratives and political commentary. Also, whether in the field or the studio, listening to music acts as a creative guide and is an important influence on my work. When said artwork is finished, it aims to not only accomplish the aforementioned themes and narratives but wedge itself between Afro-futurism and Afro-pessimism; a marriage of hope and reality.
