Overview

Am I not a woman and a sister is a new artist's film produced in collaboration with female survivors of modern day slavery in partnership with national charity City Hearts and the International Slavery Museum Liverpool, supported by a National Lottery Project Grant through Arts Council England. The project began with Kwant researching in the archives of the Merseyside Maritime Museum Library, and the collections of the International Slavery Museum. Initial research was followed by a series of collaborative workshops led by British- Barbadian choreographer Magdalen Bartlett Luambia, giving women the tools to create their own performances. The outcome - a moving image installation co-produced with female survivors of modern day slavery, was first exhibited at the International Slavery Museum in 2019.

With elegance, modesty and gravity, Elizabeth Kwant established a relationship of trust and collaboration with women who suffered in their flesh. They are the Parcae who thread a new connection and embodied relationship. Their bodies become what links two traumatic histories: that of trans-Atlantic slavery and that of modern slavery in its many versions.' Jean-Francois Manicom, Curator, The International Slavery Museum Liverpool.
