Description
Daylight Come is an experimental audio project that traces my family’s history in the context of Jamaican migration to Britain, colonisation and enslavement. The project weaves personal anecdotes, historical context, and cultural reflections, for an auditory experience that brings to life the challenges faced by my ancestors.
