janilda bartolomeu.

As an artist-filmmaker, curator and researcher, Janilda Bartolomeu’s practice communes with the ghosts of colonial pasts, engages acts of disruptive imagination, and navigates diasporic cinemas from across the globe.  Working at the crossroads between memory and future speculation, she uses moving images to document, reimagine, and conjure new worlds through generative friction. Let’s break spells.

On time, ghosts, roots, routes & crossroads.
