The war in Ukraine continues to provide Tracy with opportunities to explore the current crisis and draw parallels with the British Empire. Finding parallels and ‘connecting the dots’ are continuing to help Tracy build on her own learning journey about Britain’s colonial past. This time, Tracy is inspired by the Kingdom of Ashanti, using it to build a perspective of how nations often rise, fall and rise again due to holding on to those primal elements which embody the essence of our human nature but also transcend beyond the natural.
