Audio Description

From slave traders claiming black people couldn’t feel pain to contemporary doctors disregarding the words of black patients, Prescod’s film rejects this history of silencing black voices. Prescod builds her films collaboratively, developing a relationship with her interviewees before the cameras start rolling and organically developing the theme of the piece while it is created.

About Jameisha Prescod

Jameisha is another of the new wave of disabled artists who make up half the exhibition alongside veterans like Raabe-Webber and Mills. She was selected through the group of curatorial advisors engaged through our open call.  A born-digital creative, Prescod works in film and moving image, combining multiple different digital techniques to convey her art in this exhibition. Prescod’s film On Black Pain combines documentary, journalism, visual art and experimental filmmaking to explore the black and disabled lived experiences of herself and others. Avowedly political and deeply personal, On Black Pain tackles the silencing of black pain both historically and as lived experience now.
