Author with British citizenship barred from flight home to UK

Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi says Ryanair worker in Brussels wrongly took issue with her travel documents.

A Ugandan-born prize-winning author said she was left feeling “numb” after she was stopped from boarding a Ryanair flight from Brussels back home to Manchester.

Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, a British citizen who has lived in the UK for 21 years, was returning from a literary festival when she was barred from checking in.

The 54-year-old novelist, who won the Windham-Campbell literature prize in 2018 and the Commonwealth short story prize in 2014, said she had been shocked by her treatment.

Makumbi, who has been a lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and Lancaster University, was granted indefinite leave to remain in 2012 and British citizenship this year. She applied for a British passport in April and was waiting for an appointment.

She had no issues travelling to Belgium using her Ugandan passport and biometric residence permit. But on Wednesday evening Ryanair staff at Brussels Charleroi airport would not let her check in for her return flight to Manchester, where she lives with her husband and son.

Makumbi said: “I travelled on the same passport, with the same indefinite leave-to-remain card. But then on return the gentleman, the team leader at Ryanair, decided that I was not going to fly because my indefinite leave to remain had an expiry date, which was April this year – but in Britain that expiry date is ignored because it’s indefinite leave to remain. And, actually, immigration ignores it as well. So when I was coming out, Ryanair didn’t bother with it and I showed it to them.

“I tried to explain to this guy, but he just did not even look at me or give me a moment to explain. He just said we’re not going anywhere.”Makumbi said she was dismissed when she tried to show documentation to prove she is a British citizen, leaving her “in disbelief”.

“I explained to them that I’m a British citizen but they were not having it,” she said.

Transsonic, Nicola L. Hein and Viola Yip, is an experimental transmedial duo that creates immersive site-specific performances and installations bridging the vibrations of light and sound. Trained as musicians, both look into the ontology of sound and how musical experience can be transformed beyond its common material—sound. For their artistic research project Transsonic, they explore light as an expanded musical material. They research and create performances, improvising between lights and sounds as equally important but dialectical musical materials. Hein and Yip have been commissioned by Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, Seanaps Festival Leipzig Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry at the University of Chicago and have presented at New York University, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt, Sonic Lab in SARC at Queen's University Belfast, Huddersfield, Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, Klex Festival in Kuala Lumpur, De Tanker in Amsterdam, Alte Feuerwache Köln, Fuhrwerkswaage, Willows Nest, Studio Börne 45, West Germany in Berlin and Experimental Intermedia in New York.

-----------------   Viola Yip is an experimental composer, performer, sound artist and instrument builder. She has been interested in creating new self-built instruments and sound performances that explore the dynamic relationships between media, materiality, space and musical bodies in experimental music. Her recent appearance includes Hong Kong Arts Center, Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) at UC Berkeley, Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford, Issue Project Room (NYC), Art Club of Chicago, Cycling ‘74 Expo, University of Huddersfield, Sonic Arts Research Center at Queen's University Belfast, QO-2 (Brussels), Kunst Station Sankt Peter (Köln), Radialsystem (Berlin) and Pinakothek der Moderne (München). She recently received an Honorary Mention from Giga-Hertz-Preis 2021 at ZKM in Karlsruhe. She was also a recipient for Künstlerhaus Villa Waldberta Stipendium in Munich as well as the residency at Studios für Elektroakustische Musik in Akademie der Künste Berlin. violayip.com

-------- Nicola L. Hein is a sound artist, guitarist, composer, researcher in the field of music aesthetics and cybernetics. He is professor for digital creation and artistic director of the studio for electronic music at the University of Music Lübeck. His work is determined by the interaction of sound, space, light, movement and the emergent dynamics of aesthetic systems. In his artistic work he uses physical and electronic extensions of synthesizers and electric guitar, sound installations with motors/video projections/light, cybernetic human-machine interaction with interactive A.I. music systems, augmented reality, telematic real-time art, ambisonic sound projection, instrument making, conceptual compositions. Intermedia works with video art, dance, literature and other art forms. His works have been realized in more than 30 countries in North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Europe. His artistic work is documented on over 30 releases. He has been awarded many different prizes and grants for his work. He has collaborated with Max Eastly, Evan Parker, Miya Masaoka, Axel Dörner, Ute Wassermann and many more.

!Trumpet + Trumpet!  Nicolas Collins – Birgit Ulher

Two trumpets, two very different approaches: one electronic, the other acoustic. While Collins works with a computer program and cobbled hardware, Ulher uses metal sheets, radios, milk frothers and other everyday objects. The diametrically opposed sound production leads to oddly similar sonic results. Concerts in Berlin, at blurred edges festival in Hamburg, Ensemblia Festival in Möchengladbach and Alternativa Festival in Prague.

-------------- !Trumpet - Nicolas Collins New York born and raised, Nicolas Collins spent years in Europe, where he was Artistic Director of STEIM (Amsterdam), and a DAAD composer-in-residence in Berlin. He is a Professor in the Department of Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Research Fellow at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent). An early adopter of microcomputers for live performance, Collins also makes use of homemade electronic circuitry and conventional acoustic instruments. His book, Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking (Routledge), now in its third edition, has influenced emerging electronic music worldwide. www.nicolascollins.com

“After forty years I finally figured out how to program a computer to sound like glitching circuits, and cobbled hardware and software into a brass package: a trumpet with a built-in speaker, sensors reading valve positions, a breath control and an infrared mute. In a nod to David Tudor’s legendary composition Bandoneon! I’ve dubbed my instrument !trumpet. But where Tudor tags on the ‘!’ to indicate ‘factorial’, I lead with it as the symbol for logical negation: this is definitely not a trumpet.”

Trumpet! - Birgit Ulher Born in Nuremberg, she lives since the early 80s as freelance musician in Hamburg. She studied the visual arts, which still have an important influence on her music. Ulher works mainly on extending the sounding possibilities of the trumpet and has developed her own extended techniques and preparations for producing these sounds. Recent works include videos and sound installations. She performs solo and with her working ensembles, collaborations with dancers, visual artists, composers and one-time collaborations with musicians from around the world. She has performed at festivals and teached workshops in Europe, USA, South America, Russia, the Middle East and Australia. Numerous CD releases. www.birgit-ulher.de

So my friends saw this film at the Manchester animation festival 2022, I, unfortunately, could not make it. However, they kindly shared the trailer with me since when explaining my project it reminded them of this film. I would say we have very similar ideas about using wood however it is much different to mine. As I have an emphasis on the environment. I like the aesthetic of wood being carved in a stop-motion manner it makes it feel organic rather than 2D, and it draws the audience into the environment as though you could touch it. I would like to try and engage a similar effect in world-building however, my desire is to have a burnt aesthetic instead.

I do wish I had the opportunity to go as I was not able to stream this at home.

I would say I, of course, have to include William Kentridge as an inspiration for my work since he is using a non-traditional form of medium to make animation with charcoals. He is a South African artist, now 67 years old with several exhibitions in several museums around the world, recently he had one in London that I was unable to attend. He works within many mediums with a political, science, literature and history ground within them. In 2016 he created a centre in his home town called Less Good Idea to create a space for experimentation and creativity whilst holding workshops, public performances and mentorship. He is also a recipient of honorary doctorates.

He is an inspiration because I found enjoyment from using charcoals through him and his expressive medium. And try to replicate this has been fun through my experiments. Its artwork intrigues me about how it can make art move and further express an emotion. It has a gritty sense of realism and humanity which I also desire to express within my work.

Jodie Mack

English born (1983, Uk London) American woman, experimental film maker and animator. Attending the Florida university for the MFA in film, video, and new media at the school of art institute of chicago and teaches at Dartmouth College.

I choose her for my research because of her in-depth abstract experimental animated films. I love to play and push boundaries and so does she.

Most importantly her creative chaos comes from her exploration of pattern, place and life. I will say however I was not able to recreate a similar experiment. However, it has helped frame what experimental can be.

Hayao Miyazaki & Studio Ghibli

Created from three men, Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Toshio Suzuki. ( there was a fourth guy Yasuyoshi Tokuma, executive producer owning the parent organisation to studio ghibli. but he has passed away, and it was only recently that Isao passed. He wasn’t very prominently seen, but a close friend to Hayao)

The studio was founded June 15th 1985, tokyo, by themselves. Including there music composer Joe Hisaishi.

They’ve created so many films, even Hayao’s son was involved directing a few movies. (And i have watched nearly all of them apart from the ones in the museum that are stricted). The one movire that signified to the western world and Disney was Spirited away, winning an Academy Award for best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy awards. Making it the first of its kind as a foreign film. Surpassing Titianic worldwide grossing.

In 2016 it was voted the fourth best film of the 21st century picked by 177 film critics around the world. It has continued to recieve appraise.

The Studios Net income is 1.426 billon yen (2011) and has around 150 employees.

Hayao has truly been the centre of the operation and has masterful talent. Not to say that Isao is his equivalent but suited to different audiences that have made his movies stay hidden from mainstream television in the west. Hayao just won’t retire because it’s his reason to live, to show the small joys in life. His pacifist views are the core of his work dealing with this through each film from Nausicaa to Howls Moving Castle and his new upcoming film Boru the caterpillar. He reflects on what he learns and the struggle of being in the very medium that is a part of most of the problems he dislikes capitalism, pollution and war.

His films also touch on some of the positive nature of humans as well and in this way, he gives vigour to us imperfect beings. Yet leaving it up to us, introducing positive things that his characters do such as cleaning and cooking etc.

He is an inspiration since he started me on this journey towards animation, as well as giving me the courage to show what I believe and nothing less. People may not like your work however you will find your way. As well as to use yourself within your work, as that's what sets you apart. His activism is what he can do, and that's something I believe should be the core of any topic such as this. Further his way of being empathic to the environment as though it was a character is something I wish to bring into my work.
