AFTERIMAGES
AfterImages, a series of film installations and screenings, interrogate the coloniality of archival moving images. Drawing upon the histories of specifically Cameroonian and more broadly Global South cinemas, these works show how archival and experimental filmic registers can complicate our understanding of the residual and the spectral in the midst and aftermath of colonial violence. The cinematic afterimage becomes both method and metaphor: a trace that refuses disappearance, a remnant that unsettles the authority of linear time and official (colonial) memory. To this effect, AfterImages foregrounds an ethics of attention: to what lingers in the archive, what recurs, and what has been made difficult to see.
