SUMMARY:FACT: FACT: Hope Strickland
DESCRIPTION:HOPE STRICKLAND\nDiscover artist-filmmaker\, Hope Strickland's 
 short film I’ll be back! (2022)\, produced as part of her FACT Together 
 residency.\n\nFACT Liverpool\, 88 Wood Street\, Liverpool\, L1 4DQ\n\n\nHo
 pe Strickland is an artist-filmmaker and researcher from Manchester\, UK. 
 Her current practice is concerned with maroon ecologies and the bonds betw
 een resource extraction and racial violence. 'Maroons' are the name given 
 to those who escaped from slavery and their descendants. Their existence o
 utside plantation logics was often\, in part\, due to their successful nav
 igation of inhospitable environments such as swamps and dense mountains. H
 ope’s work also explores the temporal fractures and intimacies that can 
 be found in working across 16mm\, digital and archival film formats. Hope 
 produced the short film I’ll be back! (2022) after being awarded a FAC
 T Together digital residency in 2021.\nI’ll Be Back! begins and ends wi
 th the story of the rebel slave Francois Mackandal. In 1758\, Mackandal wa
 s condemned to be burned at the stake\, not only for his crimes but for hi
 s radical powers of metamorphosis.\nFilmed in archives and museums across 
 the UK\, I’ll Be Back! (2022) explores a series of collections holding
  objects of colonial violence. Amongst these is a book containing a diagra
 m of a slave ship\, a key document in the abolitionist movement widely pub
 lished for its shocking nature\, and a collection of insects gathered in S
 ierra Leone by a colonial topographer mapping borders and defining British
  and French territory in West Africa.\nShifting across digital\, 16mm and 
 archival formats\, the film interrogates institutional collecting practice
 s and reconsiders the distances between myth\, history and machinations of
  power.\nHope's work is presented in our gallery space designed by Chila 
 Kumari Singh Burman.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI’ll Be Back! (2022) sound by Felix T
 aylor.\n\n\n
