这本书是为配合瑞亚·迪伦在泰特不列颠美术馆举办的《可改变的地形》个展而创作的，展示了 迪伦富有诗意洞察力的作品。该书由狄龙编辑，收录了她的诗歌以及新委托的文本、牙买加诗歌档案中死后出版的诗歌，以及展览和个人作品的插图。

瑞亚·迪伦（Rhea Dillon） 于 2023 年 5 月至 2024 年 1 月在泰特不列颠美术馆举办的个展“可改变的地形”汇集了新的和现有的雕塑，作为黑人女性身体的概念碎片。迪伦探索物质历史和黑人女权主义认识论，在这种对殖民主义、父权制和黑人女性劳动的诗意回应中，唤起了概念身体的碎片——眼睛、手、脚、嘴、灵魂、生殖器官和肺。综合来看，这些不同的元素强调了黑人女性的体力劳动、生殖劳动和智力劳动在大英帝国历史上发挥的基础性作用。

这本强有力的书阐明了历史上的剥夺地点与同时期的剥削和过度劳累地点之间的联系，并强调了权力结构——包括殖民主义、种族资本主义和父权制——如何在加勒比和英国身份的产生中持久存在。

Created to accompany Rhea Dillon’s An Alterable Terrain solo exhibition at Tate Britain, this book showcases Dillon’s poetically insightful work. Edited by Dillon, it features her poetry alongside newly commissioned texts, posthumously published poems from the poetry archives in Jamaica, and illustrations of the exhibition and individual works.

An Alterable Terrain, the solo exhibition by Rhea Dillon at Tate Britain from May 2023 until January 2024, brought together new and existing sculptures as a conceptual fragmentation of a Black woman’s body. Probing material histories and Black feminist epistemologies, Dillon evokes the fragments of a conceptual body ― eyes, hands, feet, mouth, soul, reproductive organs, and lungs ― in this poetic assemblage of responses to colonialism, patriarchy, and Black female labour. 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.

This powerful volume illuminates the links between historical sites of dispossession and contemporaneous sites of exploitation and overwork, and underlines how structures of power – including colonialism, racial capitalism, and patriarchy – have an enduring presence in the production of Caribbean and British identities.
