MEMORY
“If you cut yourself off from the roots, you'll wither.”
Toni Morrison, Paradise
A project:
collecting oral histories, reflecting and writing critically about coloniality, and contemplating how the restoration and recovery of collective memories gives form to different, more nourishing dreams
“I begin speaking with a feigned authority, trying to explain the workings of the mind of a person who I am meeting again after years apart. Time, not space, is the marker of distance given that she is, in fact, me.”
dir. Petna Ndaliko Katondolo
“a kaleidoscopic scrutiny of subjecthood, power, and the camera’s role in crafting fallacies related to both.” [1]
