ICF commissioned artist Sheena Rose to present a new performance entitled Island and Monster at the Royal Academy Academician’s Room. Sheena’s performance was developed in response to sketches that she has making to express her conflicted feelings of belonging and displacement, which emerged with her return to the Caribbean after completing an MFA in North Carolina. To reckon with her changing relationship to her home, Sheena became both the island and the monster, looking in from outside as a way to negotiate this return. After the performance, Sheena was in conversation with ICF Head of Programmes Jessica Taylor.
