UK born, London-based artists Ufuoma Essi (@ufuoma.essi) and Rhea Dillon (@rheadillon) share a common interest in researching through Black British life and history’s legacies. “What does home look like to you? What does home feel like to you? Is it London? Is it England, or is it elsewhere?” Nambi, Vanessa, and Francyne—all first- and second-generation Black British women—are asked in “From Where We Land”, a film by Essi commissioned and presented last year at South London Gallery, while at Soft Opening, London, in “The Sombre Majesty (or, on being the pronounced dead)” Dillon focuses instead on the differences between “landing” and “arrival,” and her Jamaican heritage. Looking for an “elsewhere,” in this conversation moderated by Alex Bennett (@syllabub_bennett), Essi and Dillon delve into ideas of identity, body, race, nation, ethnicity, and coming to terms with the diaspora and the reality of being nationless and post-state while living in the capital’s capital and owning a British passport.
