Juror Presentation - Triple Consciousness: Films by Akosua Adoma Owusu
The politics of representation depend on dismantling monolithic, reductive, and Western-centric renderings of exoticism and otherness in identities. This presentation looks at work by filmmaker Akosua Adoma Owusu, whose films address a collision of identities where the African immigrant located in the United States has a triple consciousness. Her documentary essay and experimental film works use a range of archival material, direct animation, and staged scenes to examine the construction of historical memory and cultural identity.
