On The Other Side - Voice of Chinnamasta
2026
This installation titled On the Other Side is part of What Becomes group exhibition by QISSA and Opperclaes, that took place at Brutus Rotterdam.
This project is my attempt to understand but also express that shared feeling of (inter)connection experienced amongst individuals of the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora, despite a completely fragmented History.
Partly a sculptural work, partly an audio experience, this installation invites the viewer to seat on a plastic chair and grab one headphone, playing the voice of one Afro-Caribbean person (from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Martinique, Suriname and more) telling us about their personal experience, their identity, their views on that shared connection, the gaps in their family trees and true origins, and even the “What ifs”.
