Anita Safowaa
Anita Safowaa primarily focuses on examining under-documented cultural moments with the purpose of preserving them. Re-imagining these key times is pinnacle to her work in which she uses a range of mediums including film, reflective writing, personal archives and new media technologies.
With a fixation on collective and individual memory, her pieces bring light to these silenced narratives as an act of counter-history which manifests into immersive and intimate learning experiences.
Safowaa’s pieces have been screened as part of the BBC New Creatives initiative at the ICA, London, London Short Film Festival and Aesthetica Film Festival, York.
