‘Before Them, We’ is a multidisciplinary project by artist and cultural producer, Ruth Sutoyé. It explores the lives primarily of grandparents & intergenerational relationships of African descent in the UK, and how we archive and preserve oral histories.
The exhibition consists of portraits and oral history interviews (and at the latter stage of the run, a short film). The interviews will include stories of migration and more, emphasising the importance of preserving narratives of diasporic communities.
‘Before Them, We’ is curated by Natalie Fiawoo and produced by producer/artist, Ruth Sutoyé, and producer/writer, Tobi Kyeremateng.
