Description: Spoken word poetry video by Natumi - ‘I Don’t Belong’, from the EP, ‘East to West, Home is Home’. Natumi recites the piece and her mother J. Wanjirú Natumi, wraps a Shuka, (Cotton Fabric) in this case used as a headwrap at the front entryway of their home.
The video captures a mother passing on ideas, traditions and culture in gestures and words that help in shaping identity in a world that holds its own shifting standards. The visuals are a time capsule of an estate that will soon no longer exist as it is marked for demolition and regeneration.
