Join artist Imani Mason Jordan and Rehana Zaman for an in conversation to mark the summer solstice. As part of the discussion they will draw upon their shared interest in the writing of Sylvia Wynter, plantation economies and notions of the 'irruptive'. The event will also feature a new performance by Imani referring to their newly published poetry work PIVOT which will be available to buy at the event.
PIVOT is an experimental, book-length poem that explores the profound act of turning, with the Haitian Revolution as its central axis. Moving beyond historical narrative, it examines this epochal event through moments of rupture and radical reorientation. The work reflects on international revolt, revolutionary fervour, and forms of relation forged in the aftermath of transatlantic enslavement and European colonialism.
Plantation is a new solo exhibition by Rehana Zaman, examining land use, labour, and environmental collapse through the lived experiences of agricultural workers.
