Guest Room aims to spark collaborations. That’s why Johanne Affricot is teaming up with Silvia Rosi in choosing the theme for this instalment. Silvia is an Italian/Togolaise, London-based artist working with photography, text and video to explore ideas of memory, origins and diaspora. She is the recipient of the Jerwood Photoworks Awards (2020). Silvia has provided the following quote by Chinua Achebe from the novel Things Fall Apart as a framework for your submissions:

“There is no story that is not true … The world has no end, and what is good among people is an abomination with others.”
