‘Un|Earthed’ is all about Inez’ own journey of discovery – of ancestors, of far away places, of freedom. It is all about personal stories of belonging, roots, migration and our sense of home. When 20 years ago Inez Aponte first began to search for her Surinamese grandmother’s lineage, she met a dead end. The woman whose culture she had inherited was a mere footnote in her family tree – “Of Non-White Descent”. Only when the Dutch slave registers were made available online in 2018 was she able to trace her ancestors back to the plantations where they were enslaved.

Inez invites you to share your own stories, thoughts and feelings about these topics, and to come to her live performance, workshop or come and meet her. What’s your story of home, roots, belonging?

Through July, Inez will be connecting with people in Paignton, with specific days in Unit 5, Community Lounge in Victoria Square. Follow the links below to find out more about activities & events you to can get involved with. The postcard below is an invitation for you to think about stories you may want to share as part of this residency.
