Billy Gérard Frank - Colonial Imaginary

Colonial Imaginary is a limited-edition print series that excavates the spectral traces of colonialism across shared histories between Scotland, Grenada, and England. Drawing from contested archival fragments, this work reimagines the colonial record-not as static history, but as a living terrain of erasure, resistance, and remembrance.

A full preview of the editions and further information may be viewed here.

The 'contested' nature of these fragments lies in their political charge (their origins in systems of control and domination) and in the new meanings they take on when placed in dialogue with contemporary diasporic memory, embodiment, and lived experience. My work mines these fragments to question historical narratives, generate counter-histories, and open up spaces for relational meaning and repair.

Billy Gérard Frank born in Grenada, West Indies, is an Artist and Filmmaker whose research-based practice interrogates personal and collective issues related to race, memory, exile, global politics, post-colonial, and queer decoloniality. His work challenges and deconstructs normative narratives, using speculation and new imagery to suggest counter-histories. He represented Grenada at the 59th La Biennale di Venezia (2022) and was also part of the collective that represented the island at the 58th La Biennale di Venezia (2019).
