Tides of Propagation: Zinzi Minott and Gail Lewis in conversation

On the occasion of Zinzi Minott’s new film commission Fi Dem III: Ancestral Interference – currently screening on Spike Island’s website – Minott invited academic, activist and psychotherapist Gail Lewis to have a conversation about some of the ideas in her filmmaking and performance work, along with the knowledge and practices, aesthetic and otherwise, that inform both their lives. This conversation, conducted via WhatsApp between Monday 2 and Sunday 8 November 2020, includes voice messages, text messages, still and moving images – among them excerpts from poetry, music, and dance of the African-Caribbean diaspora. The conversation begins with a question from Tendai Mutambu, Assistant Curator: Commissions and Public Programmes at Spike Island.
