Love to remember

藝術家:Alice Marcelino

展期:2018 春季 Spring

地點:TERRA – DRIP BAR 

作品簡介:

對於居住於非洲與加勒比海地區的居民而言,葬禮是用來紀念那些已經失去的生命與其意志的傳承。

在這個感動而又充滿靈性的時刻,人們紀念昔日快樂的時光,藉著一起誦唱詩歌將他們的靈魂帶領到達應許之地。

對這些場合的紀錄就像在進行一課歷史課,一課關於那些離鄉別井、從祖國涉足到大英帝國土地上的移居者的故事,儘管他們一路上面對形形式式的社會偏見,仍能組織家庭以及建立自己的社區,使大英的社會文化更顯多元。

African and Caribbean funerals are about to celebrating the life that was lost and the legacy that endures.

Even through it is a very emotional occasion, the remembrance of happier days, the laugh about life situations and the songs that will guide the soul to the promise land, create inspirational and unique moments.

Most surprisingly, to photograph this social event become a history lesson of the endurance of the lives of those who departed their motherland to make their contribution to the British empire, and nevertheless facing social prejudice, raised families and created communities; those who have contributed greatly to the cultural richness of English society.
