Beyond Our Bodies

Serwah plays in the heavy anti colonial band Dispossessed and is also a multidisciplinary artist. Stanmore, Australia, 2017 'I think femininity is different for everybody. I’ve been doing a lot of research about the Akan tribe that is my father’s tribe in Ghana. It’s so hard having roots in so many places and feeling like in a grey area. My mother is Italian-Dutch, and my father is Ghanaian. When two members of my African family that I never met came to Australia, it was basically ‘ Hey, that’s your sisters, make them feel at home'. They were calling me 'red', which is a derogatory term. I was like whoa?!?. Then I go to my white side of the family and they would be like ‘ Why don’t you change your appearance, straighten your hair, dress properly’ etc? I didn’t choose to be like this why can’t you accept me as I am anyway? It’s so hard to accept the differences between both sides cause they’re so different and contradicting at times.'

BRITAIN-LONDON-UNDERGROUND WORKERS-STRIKE

(220302) -- LONDON, March 2, 2022 (Xinhua) -- People stand outside Stanmore tube station, which is closed due to a strike, in London, Britain on March 1, 2022. Commuters in London were thrown into chaos on Tuesday when nearly all tube services have been suspended as about 10,000 London Underground workers from the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) Union went on a planned 24-hour strike. The strike follows unresolved dispute between RMT and Transport for London (TfL) over the latter's alleged plans to cut up to 600 station posts, as well as concerns over pensions and working conditions.
