SUMMARY:International Slavery Museum: International Slavery Museum: Am I No
 t a Woman and a Sister?
DESCRIPTION:AM I NOT A WOMAN AND A SISTER\n15 November 2019 – 15 February
  2020\nInternational Slavery Museum\n\n'Am I not a woman and a sister' is
  a new moving image installation by Manchester- based artist Elizabeth Kwa
 nt\, co-created with female survivors of modern day slavery in partnership
  with Liverpool charity City Hearts. \nThe work is the culmination of a y
 earlong project researching the archives and collection of the Merseyside 
 Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum Liverpool\, seeking 
 to better understand the history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and it
 s connections to the North West of England - Kwant’s birthplace and the
  place she calls home. \nThrough her past work 'In- Transit' -where the a
 rtist embodied and retold migrants stories through site specific performan
 ces staged across the Mediterranean - Kwant became interested in the ther
 apeutic benefits of theatre for survivors of trauma. \nThe artist initiat
 ed a series of movement workshops in collaboration with British Barbadian 
 Choreographer Magdalen Bartlett Luambia\, giving female survivors of moder
 n day slavery tools and agency to create their own performances. These emb
 odied performances were shot progressively in a studio and then on locatio
 n at Harewood House\, built between 1759-1771 for wealthy plantation and s
 lave owner Edwin Lascelles\, 1st Baron Harewood.\nThrough objects\, sound\
 , and repetitive movements\, the film reflects upon colonial slavery and i
 ts ongoing legacy in modern Britain\, raising questions of colonial histor
 y and human trafficking today. A specially commissioned soundtrack compos
 ed by musician Sarah Sarhandi compliments the film.\nThe project will also
  include a publication documenting the workshops including\; a forward b
 y acting curator of the International Slavery Museum Jean- Francois Manico
 m\, a commissioned text by independent writer Sara Jaspan\, behind the sce
 nes photographs and transcribed conversations with the female participants
 . \nThis installation has been supported by Arts Council England\, Inte
 rnational Slavery Museum and City Hearts.
