Describing the work, the artist says: '"Black History Addendum" was created in response to my internal dialogue around Black History Month in the UK. I believe as long as historical narratives are confined to being viewed through a particular lens, they often reaffirm the mistruths they purport to challenge. The flags in this artwork specifically represent the flags of the commonwealth Caribbean – the island and mainland nations that once made up the Caribbean portion of the British Empire (also known as the British West Indies). The intention was not to represent every nation and culture touched by British imperialism. That's not what this work is about, because Black culture is not monolithic. This is specifically addressing the "Windrush" generation – the Caribbean hopefuls brought here in the service of post–war labour shortages, because they believed Britain was their 'mother' country, and yet arrived to a very different reality.
