Challenging the Passive Screen
A critical programming practice bridging documentary cinema, fine arts film, and archival moving image collections to construct active spaces of translation.
Curation as Translation
Curation is an act of translation. By programming for platforms like Tënk and FIFA, my goal is to construct cinematic spaces that challenge passive looking and invite physical dialogue.
Through rigorous selection and archival research, I treat the screen not as a flat surface, but as a site of somatic and cultural reclamation.

The Program Index
01
Documentary & Fiction
My programming methodology operates across three distinct cinematic registers. I select works on African and Black realities that treat the screen as an active site of inquiry, prioritizing formal experimentation, somatic depth, and historical reclamation.
02
Fine Arts
By bridging these platforms, I curate African and Black screening gems that serve as critical dialogues between historical archives and contemporary social realities.
03
Archival
