ALL TO YOUR IMAGINATION N*GRO (2023)

ALL TO YOUR IMAGINATION N*GRO is a presentation attempting to depict 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/Travelers when their experiences of “national” racism are dismissed as mere imagination. The unconventional movements, tensing and adjusting 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 transcends the realm of immigration inequality, extending its message to encompass all aspects of life where Black people encounter racism and face ostracisation and gaslighting from those who deny their experiences “It’s all in your imagination negro”. The presentation captures the disorienting journey of a person striving to cope and move forward after enduring racial trauma.
