Charlotte Woolford – Mal Woolford – No Relation

December 1 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free

In their ongoing photographic project, Charlotte Woolford and Mal Woolford respond to their personal connection through historic transatlantic chattel slavery.Knowing each other from the school run, they discovered by chance that they share the same surname. Research revealed that a branch of Mal’s family most probably enslaved Charlotte’s ancestors, pointing to a household just a few generations ago in Georgetown, British Guiana.
Charlotte and Mal use the early photographic technique wet-plate collodion to make closely observed portraits not as photographer and model but as co-photographers. The show contains images made together in London and on the street and property where the enslaver and enslaved Woolfords lived.
Ben Woolford [Trinity Laban Conservatoire] will perform live bass improvisations to accompany the exhibition.
Sun 24 Nov 4-6pm, Wed 27 Nov 7-9pm, Sun 1 Dec 3-5pm and by appointment [woolfordxwoolford@gmail.com]
