In 2016, two artists got on a cargo ship, and retraced one of the routes of the Transatlantic SlaveTriange – from the UK to Ghana to Jamaica, and back. Their memories, their questions, and their grief took them along the bottom of the Atlantic and through the figurative realm of an imaginary past. It was a long journey backwards, in order to go forwards.
salt. toured from 2016 to 2020 and traveled to Brazil, Australia, Canada, USA and across the UK, receiving worldwide accolades include The Stage Edinburgh Award and a nomination for the Amnesty International Freedom of Speech Award.
Its adaption was produced by STL in 2021 with Battersea Arts Centre and Arts Council England, and has since screened or streamed throughout Europe, Mexico, Canada, and the USA.
