Description
Rhea Dillon's solo exhibition at Tate Britain, An Alterable Terrain, explores the fragmented body of a Black woman through sculpture and poetry. This publication brings together Dillon's poetically insightful work alongside newly commissioned texts and posthumously published poems from Jamaica. The book delves into material histories and Black feminist epistemologies, probing colonialism, patriarchy, and Black female labour. It features contributions from prominent scholars and artists, including Patricia Noxolo, Barbara Ferland, Zoé Samudzi, Vanessa Onwuemezi, Françoise Vergès, Katherine McKittrick, and Martine Syms. Through Dillon's work, the book illuminates the links between historical sites of dispossession and contemporaneous sites of exploitation and overwork, highlighting the enduring presence of structures of power in the production of Caribbean and British identities.
