Employing a variety of cinematic forms and strategies, the five films in this programme engender lingering, often poetic diasporic dialogues—between here and there, then and now.
We Deh Here traces the relationship between Scotland and Guyana through photography, sewing, genealogical research, and matrilineal lines. Combining stills of historical sites in Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands with audio conversations between the artist and her mother, the film investigates and speculates on their interconnection as an expression of British and Scottish colonialism.
