Carole Enahoro’s rarely screened triple-screen film Oyinbo Pepper (1986), ‘uses archive footage and photographs from Nigeria and the UK to explore the experience of being biracial and bicultural, navigating between vigilance/obliviousness, entanglement/rupture. It ends by mapping hidden networks that exploit the effects of persistent uprooting and rerouting and drive the vulnerable away from supporting meshes towards harm and trauma.’

Oyinbo Pepper is presented in dialogue with two films by Onyeka Igwe and Rhea Storr. Like Enahoro, both artists bring an archival materiality to their explorations of familial heritage and the landscapes - from Norfolk to Nigeria - that are encompassed within them.
