Alberta Whittle, ‘business as usual: a hostile environment’, colour video with sound, 2020
business as usual: hostile environment is the work of Alberta Whittle (b.1980 Barbados), Edinburgh College of Art BA graduate. A moving image work, it looks at the colonial history of the Forth and Clyde canal and waterways' role in forced and unforced migration. Reflecting on waterways as sites of renewal and regeneration – the work focuses attention on how the architecture of the city continues to shape and impact communities, and understandings of austerity, poverty, race and class. Whittle is a current PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh and her research is concerned with individuals’ roles in perpetuating the systems of oppression existing in society by turning a blind eye to their existence. Her work usually takes the form of interactive installations which use film, sculpture and performance to consider contested histories, climate colonialism, trauma and healing.
