Her work intersects documentary and memory-construction,
forming a series of complex visual fragments
realised through filmmaking, installation, object-making and
performed re-stagings.
Her practise and visual language,
whilst based on in-depth research into questions about her own past
as well as collective memory within colonial and postcolonial narratives,
remains characteristically speculative, nomadic and estranging.
BB has produced work for various solo presentations including;
The National Arts Festival (Grahamstown, ZA),
Centro des Artes Contemporanea (Burgos, ES), The Wapping Project (London),
