Manchester-born visual artist, poet and filmmaker Tibyan Mahawah Sanoh and Space Afrika's Joshua Inyang and Joshua Tarelle’s short is a cinematic audit of identity and ancestry. Sanoh works hard to visually illustrate an honest and vulnerable picture of her soul moving through the contrast of interiority with exteriority. Inyang and Tarelle respond by doing the same with sound. Warped field recordings, overdriven rhythmic pressure, syrupy pads and disorienting vocals are cut and pasted over each other, generating a living, breathing study of the duo's Northern working class Black British reality.
Tibyan Mahawah Sanoh is a filmmaker, visual artist, and writer. Her work often explores new narratives about working class beauty, documenting intimate moments through visual representation and humanising personal experiences. She frequently collaborates with musicians and artists across various disciplines.
Director Tibyan Mahawah Sanoh will be present for the screening and the Q&A along with co-producer Space Afrika's Joshua Inyang.
