Entitled

 
What does the immigrant fantasy feel like ? Filmmaker Adeyemi Michael reimagines his mother’s idea of what it meant to be leaving her country of origin, Nigeria as an immigrant 30 years ago, for Peckham, South London. The horse is a universal symbol of freedom without restraint a symbol of travel, movement, and desire. This position represents power and agency. Subverting the colonial position with that of an immigrant mother is to directly address the colonial narrative and where immigrants exist within that.
