My fathers left.
2023-24
Research project, workshops, text, sound.
My Fathers Left is a sound and video installation in the form of a poetic sonic essay, housed within a wooden listening structure whose shape is based on the stands used to hold boats on dry land. The work explores narratives of Black fatherhood from the perspective of children of the African diaspora.
