"Slavery, it's that American thing, we don't have to worry about it"
Performance artist Selina Thompson recreates her award-winning dramatic monologue about a journey she made by cargo ship to retrace the triangular route of the transatlantic slave trade. Poetic and deeply personal, Salt is part testimony, part performance and part excavation of collective memory through archive and music.
Here she discusses how Europe side-steps and takes itself out of the Atlantic triangle of the slave trade.
