Inspired by Christina Sharpe's brilliant work, In The Wake: On Blackness and Being, "The Door of No Return is Etched on My Retina" is a nod to Dionne Brand's creative work on memory.
The work speaks to the upside-down, warped, but somehow endured reality of African diasporic people living and dying in the wake of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery.
