BLACK CLYDE

is a multi-faceted artistic exploration, meditating on the complex, prolific relationships between Blackness, the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in South West Scotland. 

The project describes Zo, Tumika & Guthrie’s experience of love, joy and desire on a backdrop of Scottish cultural practices and histories. The artist seeks to form articulations as to how Scotland’s construction of its national identity is emeshed with its colonial history of racialised capitalism. They then further aim to understand what this means for Black people in, and descendant of, this locale within frameworks of liberation and resistance.    

Zo, Tumika & Guthrie has created a diverse range of artworks which assemble together as invitation to reconsider the intersections of race, place, and history; remxing these relations to elucidate portals to multiple spatiotemporal registers.
