Future Belonging project was realised as a result of the artist's EMARE residency at C3.
Roshini Kempadoo's digital art is concerned with the historical representation of the black individual, the notion of difference and its re-presentation into a contemporary context.
Future Belonging is a new body of work by Kempadoo and is an artistic response to the increased information and active development of gene biotechnology by the medical and science professions. The work reflects two significant developments; the gene mapping process currently underway by scientists; and the historical mapping process in the form of anthropological images of world races from 1860 to approximately the 1920s. |
