 The films of Ghanaian-American director Akosua Adoma Owusu (b. 1984) draw inventively from diverse traditions of avant-garde cinema to explore the rich complexities of culture and identities forged between Africa and the US. Balancing personal reflections upon her own experiences with an insightful engagement with popular culture and mythology, Owusu’s films have made her a rising star of the experimental film scene. A student of Kevin Jerome Everson at the University of Virginia, Owusu is informed by a strong documentary impulse, as well as by a frequent engagement with performance, printmaking and sculpture—art forms that she studied while completing her MFA at CalArts.
