Monalisa Chukwuma\u2019s Portrait of an Unknown Woman <\/strong>(2021, Colour, 97mins) examines post-conflict memory and trauma concerning Nigeria\u2019s civil war (1967-70). The film is both a self-portrait, which draws on family history and personal memories, and a recounting of the collective memory of a past event that has been repressed in public constructions of Nigeria\u2019s history. In making space for the memories of ordinary people living through conflict, the film reflects on the long afterlife of trauma and its transmission down generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Playing in the Dark Installation (2022)<\/strong> Multiple projection video and text installation in two parts (Colour\/Black and white, sound). Visitors are encouraged to start with the film screening in Goldsmiths\u2019 CURZON cinema and then the installation at RHB Great Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
