About this Event

About the exhibition

Bringing together woven photographic works, the exhibition explores family histories and connections shaped between Trinidad and London. Working with archival material and recorded conversations, John uses weaving as a way to hold memory, fragmentation and absence in tension, translating oral histories through the act of weaving.
The opening night will also mark the launch of a new short film on John’s residency, directed by filmmaker Ayo Akingbade.
Developed during Autograph’s Visible Practice Residency, reflects on how making and listening can preserve and reimagine shared and personal histories across time and distance.
