Description

Shortiflm ‘Zwarte Ibis’ portrays a young Black woman’s quest for intimacy in a world where the boundaries between the individual and the collective, the political and the personal, the past and the present, become ever blurrier. The short film is an afro-surrealistic reverie, poetically re-imagining our contemporary conceptions of relationships with the self and with imagined communities through a questioning of historically and culturally imposed views on Black people’s intimate lives in the diaspora.

The screening will be followed by an artist talk with director Emma-Lee Amponsah and theatre maker Mathieu Charles.
