Abstract | This chapter will elaborate on the complex Hostile Environment phenomenon in the United Kingdom and how it is a contemporary legacy of colonial privilege. Marchevska discusses migrant knowledge production and art-making as a way to not only understand, but to resist and defy the hostile political climate. The author reflects on the creative practices and intersectional, decolonial methodologies that informed her most recent practice research collaborative project “Finding Home” (2018–2021); in particular, she focuses on the work co-created with the artists d’bi young anitafrika and Mojisola Elufowoju, who are both mothers. Marchevska discusses two elements that informed the process: time and the creation of migrant-situated knowledge. This chapter asks: how we can talk about the meaning of maternal care from migrant experience of everyday caring? |
