#whatcanabodydo was an ephemeral, street art project initiated by a group of seven Londoners to collaborate with Haitian artists and the general public to re-consider the image of colonial monuments in London. The project poses urgent questions about aesthetic and political representation of a shared history in public space where the 'people are missing'. 

​

An Open Call in Creole, French and English invited submissions of images that related to the theme 'body' to be guerrilla-projected unedited onto ten icons including the The Bank of England, the French Embassy, Tobacco Dock and Tate Britain.

​

In these immersive flashes was the sense of a new image emerging - clashing, erasing and corroborating stories to trouble what appears to be a fixed and stable image of the familiar city.

The guerrilla projections subsequently became a subject for an academic paper by Dr Esther Chadwick published in the Third Text Journal in 2019 with a projection-bombed Hans Sloane featuring on the front cover.

#whatcanabodydo was part of the MA Art and Politics at Goldsmiths University.
