In An Alterable Terrain, artist Rhea Dillon takes material histories and black feminist epistemologies to establish the elements – including the eyes, mouth, soul and hands – of an amorphous, imagined body. Viewed together, these disparate elements underline the foundational role black women’s physical, reproductive and intellectual labour has played in the history of the British Empire.

Edited by Dillon and featuring original contributions by writers, artists and thinkers including Patricia Noxolo, Françoise Vergès, Katherine McKittrick and Vanessa Onwuemezi to name a few, An Alterable Terrain is a singular artist book, and a unique record of an extraordinary body of work.
