Contemporary Archives
Contemporary Archives is a series of darkroom prints that reinterprets and regrounds my family archives. Tracing the migration of my grandparents to London in the late 1950s. Navigating internal rejection of predominantly white spaces growing up; This project pays homage to my heritage and identity of Black Britishness. Through the recreation of styling my wardrobe, metaphoric to their existence and presence that lies within me since their passings, encompassed in the harsh shadowings of the constructed studio shots. The prints mirror the Nigerian flag from beginning to end, raw and authentically crafted, while reflecting my self-journey and pride in my heritage. From the culture that has shaped me, I hope this project adds to the wider discourse of Black Britishness.
