Watch Bayjoo's film that tells the history of Mauritius through its landscape.

About

This film explores the diverse landscape and history of Shiraz Bayjoo’s home country, Mauritius. The artist uses moving image to examine the impact of colonialism which remains visible across the island today.

You'll see the country's rugged coastline, French graffiti found in early settlements, sugar plantations overgrown with plants and vines and thick forests.

Shiraz Bayjoo is a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist working across painting, photography and video. Often using material stored in personal and public archives, Bayjoo explores cultural memory and postcolonial nationhood by tracing the history of people and places.
