Mandlakazi Zilwa, Ubumna, 2020, installation views

Ubumna is a multi-channel video installation that explores the idea of reimagining and reframing African narratives, from a self-reflexive perspective. It is about the potential and failures of the archive, cinematic practices and ultimately the internet, to produce images, narratives, spaces that we recognize and can locate ourselves as both producers and consumers of knowledge.  

How do you frame a subject that is perpetually being reimagined, relocated, destroyed and recreated, through this very medium of filmmaking?’
