Explorations of Camille Turner’s <i>Unmapped</i>

This article examines Tkaronto-based multimedia artist/scholar Camille Turner’s Unmapped: An Afronautic Journey, where she presents three works: Nave (2022), Sarah (2022), and Afronautic Research Lab: Newfoundland (2019). In these transformative multimedia artworks, Turner centres Black imaginings to uncover and unsilence the past of her people, bringing the grief, hauntings, and violence of the past and the present into what she calls a “liberated future.” This article is a collaborative reflection from three varying perspectives and voices where each author takes up the works and analyze them uniquely. Lara El Mekaui explores belonging in Sarah, Jellisa Ricketts contemplates space in Nave, and Shanique Mothersill reflects on the Afronautic methodology in Afronautic Research Lab: Newfoundland through poetry. Our collage of contributions discusses the many insights that Turner’s work offers to a wide spectrum of theatre communities.
