What does the   immigrant fantasy feel like? A repositioning; of Abosede Afolashade, a first   generation immigrant, riding a horse dressed in traditional Yoruba ceremonial   wear, filmmaker Adeyemi Michael reimagines his mothers idea of what it meant   to be leaving her country of origin, Nigeria as an immigrant 30 years ago for   Peckham, South London. The horse is a universal symbol of freedom without   restraint a symbol of travel, movement, and desire. This position represents   power and agency. Inverting the colonial position and replacing the classic   image of a white male European with that of a mother, civil servant, chef,   businesswoman, degree student and all the other things mothers and immigrants   can be is to directly address the colonial narrative and where immigrants   exist within that.
