Shamica Ruddock's current practice is primarily concerned with fictions, folklore and storytelling. Considering the ways Black diasporas are engaged and explored through sound, whilst meditating on sound culture and the interface between race and technology, Shamica has been particularly interested in how black technosonic production functions as a form of speculation, narrativising and worldmaking. Through film Shamica explores Afro-Caribbean puppetry, masquerade, and oral folk storytelling traditions. Black temporal entanglements, dispossession and Marronage are also important points of departure.
