An African in the snow was birthed by a silent performance piece called I see you which took place in a window in Liverpool's High Street with unsuspecting passersby as the audience. Onlookers would see a woman who unravels as her life revolves around waiting for a letter from immigration services.
I see you was supported by Hope Street Ltd.
