Amber Ablett’s My Father’s Left is a sound and video installation that explores how the narratives that British, Norwegian and Western society teach us about Black fatherhood shaped and warped the way Amber saw her relationship with her own father, who migrated with his family from Trinidad, a former British colony, to the UK in the 1960s.

My Father’s Left was originally commissioned and presented in collaboration with Borealis – a festival for experimental music and BEK – Bergen Center for Electronic Arts.

Amber Ablett is an artist and writer based in Bergen. Using performance, text, sound and re-enactment, her work looks at the importance of belonging to how we be together, with a focus on how our society shapes, reflects, controls and limits our multifaceted identities.
