Initially I was going to create work that was a more literal version of the title of my dissertation. Turning stately manors, art galleries which had been built or financially backed of the profits made from slavery and redesign the exterior and interior of the buildings to be made out of black bodies, focusing on using shock value and body horror to get across the severity of these incidents. However after starting my dissertation and visiting London and the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton this concept had no deep historical and almost no theoretical context to it and would end up being just an add on to my dissertation rather than a truly synthesised piece of work that went along side it.
