To commemorate the exhibition Tender Seedlings we are delighted to share a walkthrough with Anina Major, in which she reveals personal stories and techniques behind the works. In establishing a home contrary to her birthplace, The Bahamas, Major is motivated to investigate the relationship between self and place as a condition of becoming rather than origin. Her practice reflects a diasporic understanding of identity, one formed through circulation, displacement, and adaptation, where cultural belonging is not fixed to a single location but carried forward through lived experiences. Using the traditional weaving technique, plaiting, taught to her by her late grandmother, Major translates a fragile, portable craft into ceramic form, allowing inherited knowledge to migrate across materials, geographies and time.
