Description

Navigating the multiple and contesting imaginaries that inform the ways we conceive of selves and others, as these imaginaries are shaped by differing epistemologies. It is about navigation and translation across difference in time and space. At the centre of the work is the image of a time traveling woman who is both ghost and ancestor, a shapeshifter who has seen many different iterations of herself as she is constantly reconstituted by the contesting times and histories that form her.
