In Conversation: Ijeoma Iloputaife and Philana Payton

About

Filmmaker, artist, and poet Ijeoma Iloputaife and filmmaker and film scholar Philana Payton will come together on May 14 to discuss their practices and the common themes between them. Central to both artists’ work is understanding and representing the role of Black women in the face of institutionalized racism, black-on-black violence, colonialism, and normalized misogyny in many forms. Iloputaife and Payton will address the Black female experience in their work as well as the intergenerational similarities and differences they’ve experienced and expressed through their art as well as the progress, or lack thereof, made in the betterment of the plight of women today.
