Adura Baba Mi by Juliana Kusama, Doc society (forthcoming)

Adura Baba Mi (My Father’s Prayer) is a delicate portrait, into the life of a first-generation child, of Nigerian immigrant parents.

With gentle consideration of spirituality, self-care, and survival, we embark on a journey toward reconciliation in an attempt to bridge connections between child and parent; colony and empire; Yorùbá hymn and British gospel.

Carry it With Me Everywhere by Arwa Aburawa and Turab Shah commissioned by Metrolands Culture

Informed by interviews with first-generation migrants living in London and beyond, this short film weaves together the lives of multiple characters as they confront inherited ideas of belonging.

Undercurrent 528 (2021) 

Evan Ifekoya‘s Undercurrent 528 draws on Stephen Dwoskin’s complex relationship with care, desire and everyday rituals as made visible in his vast oeuvre and reorients it from Ifekoya’s perspective. A series of invitations were sent out by Ifekoya to their extended black, queer and trans community for a dancer, a drummer, a gathering around breath and breathing and a sonic response to these images. This new video work explores the relationship between documentation and liveness, opening portals of intimacy by bringing people together through different spaces and time. It is part of a series of works exploring the reparative dimension of sound and its potential as a gateway to alternate aspects of our reality.
