The Stedellijk Museum Amsterdam is the museum of modern and contemporary art. In 2017 – 2018 the Stedelijk Museum presents a new exposition that explores various aspects of migration. “I’m a born foreigner”, is a collection that depicts how the impact of migration has affected today’s artists. As a Britsh expat from Afro Carribean roots,  and voice-over actor I contributed to the English narration audio tour.

Additionally, the museum highlights by means of the exhibition, past artists contributions. And that they have been greatly influenced by the movement of people to another country. The title “I’m a born foreigner” is a statement by the Mexican artist Ulises Carrión (1941-1989) who lived in Amsterdam since the 1970s.
