Leah Gordon is an artist, curator, and writer, whose work considers the intervolved and intersectional histories of the Caribbean plantation system, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, the Enclosure Acts and the creation of the British working-class. Living half the year in Haiti since the early 2000s, Gordon’s work engages with the history of its population and its oppression by colonizers. The artist has created projects about Haitian Freemasonry (a present-day legacy of colonial times); Voodoo; the oppressive enclosure system in England; the disappearing drill towers of the London Fire Brigade; and the tailors of Port-Au-Prince whose jobs disappeared under the weight of the import of second-hand clothing from the United States. Many of Gordon’s films have a political inflection; for example, she has made films about links between the Thames River and the slave trade, and a film commenting on the clean-up of two thousand elephants by the Portuguese to clear ground for agriculture in colonial Mozambique.
