A Strange Kind of Knowing — Writing

Essays, Articles & Musings

–

These writings have been caught in the ladder of my throat for years. They have stumbled in obscurity, tumbled with insecurity, illuminated the path of curiosity for many creatives and now they are making light into this world as a way for me to define presence, criticality and engagement more holistically. Sharing is a lesson in generosity and truth-telling.

This is an assemblage of current and past work from the last fifteen years and is a glimpse into the microcosms of informal art spaces and institutional bodies across the Caribbean and further afield. The words, reflections, exposés and travelogues are portals to other ways of being, understanding and coming to terms with our post-colonial contexts, inherent messiness and transformation.

A Strange Kind of Knowing supports, "How to Sway on Crick Hill"

Artist, spiritualist and medicine woman Holly Bynoe’s film still of the gentle movement of wild cane fronds, or ‘arrows’ from How to Sway on Crick Hill (2020), draws on her deep interest in the spiritual and healing properties of plants, regenerative agriculture and ways of undoing the ‘plantationocene’. A Strange Kind of Knowing will explore nuance, intuition, the land, environmental cycles and phenomena.
