There’s a Hole in the Sky Part I 2016

The video carries many of the threads that run though Cammock’s work, such as using photography and documentary film methods to explore the intimate bonds of history, often of colonialism, racism and cultural appropriation—in this case, tracing the slavery trade created to prop up the now-disappearing sugar production in the Caribbean—and first-person accounts of the disjointed experience of those ‘subjects’ who moved from the West Indies to the UK.

I Will Keep My Soul 2023

I Will Keep My Soul is a gathering of encounters and observations, figured in text and image, of Helen Cammock’s experiences in New Orleans. Cammock convenes both contemporary and historical voices—from archivists, artists, writers, and musicians to the protagonists of the civil rights movement—and adds her own through poetry, ceramics, and the sound of her trumpet.
