From Void: The project is centered around the city of New Bern, North Carolina in the US—established in 1710 as hub for the trade of human beings —an area rich with historic moments. Many maroons—enslaved people who had escaped their captors but chose not flee to the north— inhabited the liminal spaces in the vicinity. They created lives in hard access swamps or in the ungoverned wild spaces between plantations and their survival strategies and techniques can be thought of as ‘freedom practices.’ Collectively the materials in the book reach through time to these maroons of the 18th century and connect them to both the contemporary landscape and the viewer.
