Daughters of Igbo Woman
Seeds of Change WeekDaughters of Igbo Woman is a digital, lyrical, poetic memorial tribute to Fanny Coker, maidservant of the Georgian House, Bristol (UK), her mother Adaeze (St Kitts & Nevis), and grandmother Ojiugo (Eastern Nigeria). Women permanently separated by the inhumanity of kidnapping & human trafficking into slavery.
Akachi Ezeigbo & Onyeka Osajie (Eastern Nigeria), Vida Rawlins (St Kitts & Nevis) and producer/director Ros Martin (Bristol, UK) have come together digitally, to render visible and give voice to three generations of 18th-century African women from one family.
This free drop-in film will play on a continuous loop during Seeds of Change Week, accompanied by In Memoriam, a short film reflecting the public memorial tribute raised by artists in Greenbank Cemetery on 26 August 2017, marking 250 years of Frances Coker’s birth.
