Roma Tearne Livres
Roma Tearne, artiste et écrivaine d'origine sri-lankaise basée en Grande-Bretagne, explore en profondeur les thèmes de la mémoire, de la perte et de la migration dans son œuvre. Son parcours artistique a débuté dans la peinture et l'installation, mais grâce à son implication dans des musées et des projets cinématographiques, elle a développé son exploration de la relation entre récit et mémoire. Son écriture, issue de ses recherches artistiques, se concentre sur les questions poignantes d'identité et d'appartenance dans un monde façonné par des traces historiques. Tearne offre une perspective unique, tissant l'art visuel avec l'expression littéraire pour révéler les complexités de l'expérience humaine.

A permanently frozen London is the setting for Roma Tearne's harrowing yet lyrical tale of survival in a dystopian near-future.
Exploring themes of displacement and memory, the narrative centers on a collection of photographs and artefacts from an anonymous donor, representing the lost possessions of individuals uprooted by circumstances like war or migration. The protagonist, drawing from Tearne's own experiences of leaving Sri Lanka during civil unrest, finds solace in creating a museum to house these items. This collection symbolizes the universal search for belonging and the emotional weight of lost memories, offering a sense of rest for those who have left their pasts behind.
