Afro Promo #1 King Lady 1

By: Nora Chipaumire

This work is an Afro-Feminist manifesto beautifying bodies to claim the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Using low-tech — do-it-yourself aesthetics, this short film demonstrates how presence, fashion and pop culture can be a vehicle for self-invention and self-determination. The film features a black African female superhero who commands regal authority. Her superhero powers are the mastery of time, space and energy i.e. dance: a virtuosity that brings beauty, health, wellbeing to all who witness her dance.

Directed and choreographed by Nora Chipaumire.
