Elsa James wants you to remember
from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue
Elsa James’s new exhibition, It Should Not Be Forgotten, explores themes of chattel enslavement and its impact on contemporary Black British life. Confronting Britain’s national amnesia around its role in the transatlantic slave trade, Elsa’s work seeks to bring an alternative perspective on how we engage with the past. Jen chats to Elsa about the exhibition’s themes, sharing history, and facing its discomfort. It Should Not Be Forgotten is at Firstsite Colchester until July 6.
