6 Black Caribbean Heroes

Material

Handmade patchwork and embroidery using cotton fabric, thread and African wax print fabric

Date

2019

Size

100x150cm

This is a storytelling patchwork of 6 people whose lives were affected by the African diaspora due to the transatlantic slave trade. Some had adventurous and eventful lives, others less so but all are equally as important to hear. These are stories that don’t normally get recognition; their voices go unheard. For me to understand the cultural landscape of my region I had to know more about the people who made a difference or whose stories were forgotten. These people represent strength and resilience in the face of a world stacked against them.
