Visual content

Below are videos that were shown during the exhibition. We have Akeim’s Hello Love, a performance that represents the experience of social life during COVID-19. This video inspired Rianna’s Experiencing Creole video, which is a timepiece and memory of the Creole Festival.

We also have a monologue that was written by members of the Culture Box research team. We asked two care staff to perform the monologue for the exhibition. Sharon kindly accepted and has produced a short video performing the text for us!

Hello Love by Akeim Toussaint Buck

Akeim is an interdisciplinary performer and creative born in Jamaica and raised in England. In making the film, Akeim has thought about all of the different ways that we communicate when we don’t have words, and even when we might need to wear a mask or even recognise one another.

Experiencing Creole by Rianna Patterson

Rianna is founder of the Dominica Dementia Foundation, a youth-led-dementia charity. Her commission is a timepiece for the Creole season. The creole event comprises of community, music and dance which are all beneficial for people with dementia.
