Limestone
28 x 24 x 4 cm
2026
Goke is an artist working in sculpture and cinema. Their practice explores heritage and culture through themes of power, food, and public memory. Film, archival research, and participatory workshops are the methods through which they investigate how histories are constructed and remembered, and the forms found along the way inform their sculptures and drawings.
Their recent film, Limestone + Jute (2026), is an experimental documentary that contrasts the memories of South Asian seafarers, known as lascars, with the artist's experience of carving their memorial plaque. Breaking down the conventions of documentary, it takes a montage-led approach that weaves together archives, oral histories, and performance to explore East London's forgotten history.
The film was accompanied by a public workshop in which participants told the lascars' story through their bodies. The gestures and shapes that emerged are now the starting point for a new body of sculptures and drawings.
