I have been asked this question many times in my life. The one that stands out the most, was someone I was working with, he was a mentor to me in my arts career. We had been working together for a long time, and he asked me, 'where are you from originally?'. I gave the same answer I always do - Manchester. This wasn't sufficient for him; 'No, I mean where do you originate from?'. At this point I think I laughed. I answered, Manchester, I have always lived here. I think he may have even asked a 3rd time. To which my reply was 'My grandparents are Jamaican, if that is what you are asking me?'

Here is another exhibition that explores the same theme. 'No But Where Are You Really From?' is an exhibition organised by Artichoke curated by Bakul Patki and was exhibited (I believe) in 2023.

Larry Achiampong's Pan African Flag for the Relic Travellers' Alliance (Dualities) is part of the artist's ongoing Relic Traveller project, digging into postcolonial perspectives and the connection between those born in Africa and those of the diaspora.

Reena Kallat's Pattern Recognition appropriates the Snellen Eye Chart format to illustrate the evolution of travel liberties; while Fiona McBennett uses AI to explore the feelings of rootlessness and cultural dysphoria she has experienced as a bi-racial woman.

Osman Yousefzada's More Immigrants Please aims to reimagine migration discourse by introducing positive vocabulary and subverting the visual language of barricade tape usually associated with exclusion.

Arts charity Artichoke is known for its large scale, democratic approach to public arts projects. No But Where Are You Really From? is its third season of its initiative with Martin Firrell called The Gallery, which sets out to challenge traditional models of viewing art. The first season invited works in response to the theme Straight White Male, while the second was titled The State We're In.

No But Where Are You Really From? will be displayed on outdoor digital screens and billboards until 2 October. A special exhibition of all three seasons' work will also be on display at London's Truman Brewery from 6-9 September.
