About MeThis film was created in response to viewing an enslaved person’s head-scarfed head on the carved crest above the Powis Gate folly in Old Aberdeen. The film was shot at Powis Gate, Old Aberdeen and it features Noon Abdelrazig giving a spoken word performance of her poem next to a ceramic memento created by Helen Partridge Love.
