The Name I Call Myself by Rhea Dillon

This film is a rumination on the question of 'what it looks like to be black and be part of a problem' or 'what happens when the safe confines of the community are compromised from within'? Being black and queer has for so long made you a ‘problem’ within the black community let alone the rest of the world. Rejecting a catch-all definition of blackness, TNICM unpicks multifaceted LGBTQ identities within my local black British diaspora via friends and characters at the heart of the scene, cast across two-screens. TNICM refuses to accept that identity can be codified by working with the community to show for the first time on film Black Queer Britain to remind viewers to do more than just gaze beyond the binary – it asks them to dismantle it. 2019 A dual screen scent based video installation Scent in collaboration with Byredo dispersed in the space and available at the private view May 2019
