No Solid Ground

In the video series “No Solid Ground,” Roisin Jones navigates white spaces as a person of colour, blending imagery, poetry, and performance to create a profound journey of self-discovery. Inspired by West African and Caribbean folk stories, Jones embraces Anansi, the spider, as a unifying symbol that illuminates forgotten histories and transforms our understanding of shared experiences. Through performance art, she fearlessly confronts the challenges of hostile environments, transcending barriers to engage with silenced narratives and empowering herself. Her work sheds light on resilience, challenges preconceptions, and fosters empathy. Jones forges connections, transcends boundaries, and invites viewers to reexamine their perspectives, offering healing and transformation through storytelling.
