The Wound Is a Portal

In ‘The wound is a portal’, Gesiye uses Afro-diasporic healing modalities to address generational trauma and weave a mythology of land and personhood. Eight Black Trinidadians were invited to participate in a series of tattoos and conversations about connection to the island. Each tattoo correlates to a larger story, facilitating a reclamation of agency and acting as a portal to reconnection with self, each other and the land.
