Lucille Junkere is a research-based visual artist specialising in botanical and ochre pigments, sustainable textiles and embroidery. Her research focuses on the impact of colonisation on African Caribbean textile history. One of the enduring legacies is the destruction of indigenous African knowledge systems. The physical, emotional, and spiritual dispossession caused by the transatlantic slave trade means that ancestral and cultural identities have been severed. Lucille explores a past connected to chattel slavery using the materiality of cloth, visual symbolism, botanical and ochre pigments, especially the pigment she loves – indigo to consider loss, grief, racism, healing, resistance and cultural reconnection.
