'Delineate’ is an artist book project, produced via a three-way partnership between Natalia Palombo (Many Studios), Kayus Bankole, and Tiffany Boyle (Mother Tongue).

‘Delineate’ brings together texts, visual responses and poetry from writers, artists, curators, exploring the links between colonial-era cotton, linen, jute and paper trade in/through/via Scotland. Rather than separate histories with divided geographies, ‘Delineate’ seeks to make connections across materials, timelines and places otherwise often seen as unrelated, despite having Scotland as a common denominator. Across these contributions are shared queries, protests, returns to particular historical moments and visual strategies: from archival research and the use of collage or cut-and-mix, to family explorations across generations, looking to moments of radical industrialisation historically as a key turning point.

The book features work from Alberta Whittle, Cassie Ejezi, Chizu Anucha, Daisy Desrosiers, Irineu Destourelles, Swapnaa Tamhane, Tabita Rezaire/Olaniyi Studio, Tanatsei Gambura.
