Catherine Chinatree & Peter NichollsRise Up Residency

This mural gives reference to the wake – a lasting trail of turbulence and a realm of consciousness first set in motion by the slave ships that began to move across (and to the bottom of) the oceans.

About Catherine Chinatree & Peter Nicholls

Christina Sharpe writes that the ‘residence time’ – or time spent in the ocean – for ancestors who were thrown, (or jumped) from these ships is 260 million years. Until then, we will feel the salt that belonged to their bodies as part of the oceans’ salinity, always with us as we also exist in the wake.
