brother portrait

brother portrait is a London-born Sierra Leonean artist & writer often thinking on: memory and objects as vessels; how we're shaped by space and place; the authority and limitations of words; the language of art and the body; movement and memory; map making and; freedom dreaming. His preoccupations find form in poetry, travel writing, stories and song.

He is currently exploring how is knowledge is transmitted through song, poetry, dance, participatory storytelling and other performance forms. How, encoded within these are epistemologies, ontologies, philosophies and cosmologies. He is often heard chanting "full ecological liberation", living by a liberation politics that forefronts the protection and stewardship of life and all that sustains it. It is necessarily decolonial, feminist, anti-imperial, ecologically restorative, collaborative and mutually supportive.

He is always learning so forever a novice, naïve, full of wonder, growing younger every day.
