ask me what my name is (2023)

Presented as part of the Looking In, Looking Out exhibition in the Galerie FOFA Gallery from November 3rd to December 15th, 2023.

ASK ME WHAT MY NAME IS cites a 16-year-old Black girl’s challenge to anti-Black carding practices in Canada. The film uses cross dissolves to interrogate racial misidentifications in policing methods and sonic cues to amplify the "ordinariness of racism," as described by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic (2017).

This film is part of a collection of creative work that imaginatively unmakes and remakes public records of police violence against Black girls to foreground their stories, interventions, and resistance.
