Diaspora Dialogues — Asia Clarke in Conversation with Christian Cassell
About this Event
Join us at Seed Archives for Diaspora Dialogues, an evening conversation between FREE WILL: Manifestors of Realities artist Asia Clarke (Wild Moon) and Seed Archives founder Christian Cassell.
The discussion will explore the stories behind the exhibition's five sculptural masks — honouring Maurice Bishop, Cécile Fatiman, Frantz Fanon, Carlota Lucumí, and Queen Nanny — and the wider themes of Afro-Caribbean resistance, ancestral memory, and manifesting a collective future.
The exhibition will remain open for viewing throughout the evening.
"Architects of revolt, visionaries of liberation, keepers of memory. Their courage is a call to us all, a reminder that freedom is never simply granted — it must be claimed, defended, and cherished." — Fiona Compton, Know Your Caribbean
