This video, filmed during Dozie Kanu’s residency in Arles, shows him in the midst of artistic exploration using salvaged materials. In it, he reflects on the diasporic condition of Black masculinity, on the role of African objects in history and how they’ve been interpreted in the West, and he questions how one can create forms that tell stories while also carrying a broader meaning.
