Send us Fan MailThis episode features British filmmaker and photographer Mal Woolford and actor-educator Charlotte Woolford to discuss No Relation — their powerful collaborative project exploring ancestry, identity, and the legacy of transatlantic slavery.Though not family, their shared surname sparked a profound artistic journey. Using wet-plate collodion photography and archival research, No Relation confronts colonial history and reclaims representation. Their portraits subvert traditional power dynamics, featuring averted gazes, ancestral textures, and Demerara sugar from Guyana — a visceral link to the colonial past.Themes include historical accountability, the politics of portraiture, and photography’s role in exploring the legacy of colonialisation.Recorded on 14 August 2025.Follow the project on Instagram: @relationprojectPodcast details:Podcast email: [email protected]: www.artiststales.netInstagram: @artists_tales_podcastThreads: @artists_tales_podcast
