Three artists born elsewhere reflect on their journeys across geographies & time frames

Three artists born elsewhere reflect on their journeys across geographies and time frames through a montage of interviews, field recordings as well as self records.

Another Country, Another Quandary is a montage of interviews, field recordings and self records scored with original compositions and vocalisation that draws on the ideas of hauntology. The piece features a number of UK based artists born elsewhere as they reflect on their journeys of where they are today across geographies and time frames. The cast of voices reflects on their childhood migration to the UK & other parts of the world and the impact this has had on their sense of self and their artistic practices. The piece focuses on how the artists see themselves in another dimension where they never left their home countries and what that intangible dimension looks like. How do they dream about the time and space between where they are and where they’ve been. The voices featured are of painter, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami, visual artist, Fungai Marima and harpist, Marysia Osuchowska.
