Akosua Adoma Owusu is a Ghanaian/American artist who once taught documentary video at Nova. Internationally recognized for her avant-garde work by Art Forum, Indiewire, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Berlinale World Cinema Fund, she is a current Guggenheim Fellow.

“Her work addresses the collision of identities, where the African immigrant located in the United States has a triple consciousness. Owusu interprets Du Bois’ notion of double consciousness and creates a third identity or consciousness, representing the diverse consciousness of women and African immigrants interacting in African, white American, and black American culture.”

Owusu will screen several of her short, experimental films and talk about them. More abstract and associative visual essays than narrative dramas, these films will challenge and surprise.
