Director's Works
The world around us cannot change until we first envision a better version of it. As a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaking duo, we see our practice as a motile commitment to a reparative and radical future. Through the intentional synthesis of film, sonics and physical installation, we look to create spaces where the work, and the conversations spawned from it, can be lived in, shared, incubated, interrogated and expanded upon. Grounded in the works of black cinema and the use of film as an expansion of oral history and archive, our practice is also a dedication to intimately observing the intersections between community, healing, creativity and our relationship with the natural and spiritual worlds. Embedded at the core is the question: how can the screen become a space that brings us together and create human connection?
iwoyi takes viewers on a non-linear journey through time and space, driven by the vibrations of a Black radical imagination. Grounded in the traditions of Black ritual, the film explores themes of listening, gathering, refusal, and the transformative power of collaboration. Emerging from the mouth of a black hole, iwoyi invites you into a world untethered from the violent logics of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism, envisioning liberation through the lens of Black feminism. Conceived of as a spaceship moving toward the event horizon, it challenges the destructive forces of our present reality, calling on us to embrace the unknown and actively push beyond the limits of this world to create new possibilities for freedom.
