Join Villa Albertine for an engaging conversation with filmmaker and former resident Alice Diop centered on connecting Black poets across the Atlantic.
In conversation with writer and curator Omar Berrada, Alice Diop, the award-winning director of Saint Omer, will discuss bringing together celebrated Black poets from Europe with American literary figures to collectively reflect on their identities during her Carte Blanche event at the Festival d’Automne in Paris last fall.
Diop explored the works of Black American poets during her Villa Albertine residency in New York in 2022. Inspiring her own personal and political journey, the poems of Robin Coste Lewis, Audre Lorde, June Jordan, Claudia Rankine, and many more, became an essential part of her research and the development of her current film project.
