ALL TO YOUR IMAGINATION N*GRO (2023)

ALL TO YOUR IMAGINATION N*GRO reflects on the profound mental impact of racial inequality, with a particular focus on immigration disparities. The presentation delves into the emotional turmoil endured by black “migrants”/African nationals when their experiences of xenophobia are dismissed as mere imagination. The unconventional movements, tensing and adjusting of the trousers, serve as a poignant representation of trauma's enduring effects and the coping mechanisms it necessitates and high expectation to be cordial while experiencing racially fabricated hardship.

This visual narrative captures the disorienting journey of a person striving to cope and move forward after enduring racial trauma. It transcends the realm of immigration, extending its message to encompass all aspects of life where black folk encounter discrimination and face ostracisation and gaslighting from those who deny their experiences; “It’s all in your imagination negro”.
