Oddities

Audrey Albert, artist said, “This commission gave me the headspace and most importantly the time to further explore my practice, develop it and continue the work I had started with the Chagossian community back in 2017. For a lot of us, this is more than only work. It is about survival, resistance and resilience. It is about our lived experiences as Chagossian natives and descendants. It’s how we heal and how we come together to create joyful spaces. I think collective work, co-creation, creative community work are what make the world a better place and it is through my art, that I add my own little stone to the bigger picture. I hope that through this exhibition, Chagossian culture will be celebrated, Chagossians will be truly seen and that our voices will be heard and listened to.”
