Salt by Selina Thompson (2021) Director | Producer

Performance artist Selina Thompson recreates her award-winning dramatic monologue about a journey she made by cargo ship to retrace the triangular route of the transatlantic slave trade. Poetic and deeply personal, Salt is part testimony, part performance and part excavation of collective memory through archive and music. Throughout the programme, Thompson explores her painfully difficult but ultimately redemptive journey around the Atlantic triangle, and in doing so, takes us on a cathartic journey through grief, race and identity. Darkly comic in places, but also intensely sad, Salt is Thompson’s deeply human response to being both British and a descendant of a people enslaved by the British. A moving account of a young woman grappling with the afterlife of slavery and colonialism. The art she creates somehow makes the overwhelming and unsurmountable bearable for her. Steeped in anger but delivered with the lightest of touches, Salt in its essence is about love and family, whether those bonds are biological, chosen through adoption or simply the bonds inherent within the black community. In exposing her pain, and her path towards healing, Thompson lays bare a rare yet vital truth.
