A documentarian, editorial hybrid using analogue photography to reconsider the way a system of oppression has shaped a beautiful island. It endeavours to recognize the temporal and spatial complexity of place, married with an anthropological lens. During my secondary education, there was a spot called The White Bench—painted a deep green, it was named for the people who used it, rather than its own appearance. Similarly, the private primary school I attended gave little indication that the population of my island home was mostly Black. We were soaked in colonial residue that has only slowly begun to be wiped from the surface of the coral rock.
