Oshun's Smile in the English Woods

Is it a strategy of belonging to find Oshun's smile in an English Forest? 

For this Platform Art Projects commission, sculptural works are returned to the English forest from which they were gathered. 

Witness the geographical slippage between Caribbean and English wooded landscapes and encounter the smile of a distantly remembered goddess of the African Diaspora. 

Meet some of the musical artists that channel Oshun's energy and glimpse some of a lockdown walk in a way that favours sound not sight.
