#RebirthIsNecessary
Rebirth Is Necessary explores the magic and dynamism of Blackness. Jenn Nkiru is an award-winning visionary artist and director. Her works are grounded in the history of black music, experimental-film aesthetics, international art cinema, the black arts movement, and the rich, variegated, experimental tradition of black diaspora cinema. Pushed through her Afro-surrealist lens, past, present, and future are rethought and reordered, creating something soulful and mind-bendingly visceral.
