As a tribute to the theorist and cultural critic Paul Gilroy (*1956), a sports jersey bearing his name hangs from a gold chain adorned with keys and dried flowers. Gilroy is renowned for his incisive analysis of racism and his studies of the Black diaspora that was shaped by the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism. His concept of the “Black Atlantic” (1993) proposes a transnational Black identity. He investigated how the vast movements of enslaved people across the Atlantic along various trade routes – connecting Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas – forged a dynamic intercultural identity that transcended national and ethnic lines. Gilroy detailed how diverse cultural influences, shaped by enslaved individuals under racist oppression and exclusion from dominant cultures, blended to create new hybrid cultures. Choisne draws on this concept to suggest that in every society, nothing emerges in isolation; everything is mixed, combined, infused and hybridised. In a playful act of juxtaposition, she uses a T-shirt made in China and printed with Paul Gilroy’s name in Mexico to include the theorist within the canon she references in her Temple of Love.
