CMP student Nnenna Onuoha ( PhD candidate in Anthropology) will present four of her recent video works in the exhibition AFTERLIVES at Berlin’s Galerie im Turm December 15, 2022 through February 19, 2023.
The videos will be presented one after another in an individual display. “Centering Afrodiasporic voices in processes such as collective re-membering, archiving of Black experience and (self-) care, Onuoha approaches histories of colonialism across West Africa, Europe and the United States. By carefully and repeatedly applying these methods, the artist generates histories of the past that can be shared collectively and thus may work as a means to repair.” – exhibition program
Nnenna Onuoha and Melody Howse will hold a talk in the gallery on January 25 to consider how the visual language of “Black Visual Intonation,” theorized by Arthur Jafa in 1992, has impacted their work as Afrodiasporic filmmakers.
