Manage episode 407329143 series 3559461
This week’s guest is Chin We, an award winning British Nigerian visual artist and filmmaker; through film, photography, and mixed media, she explores themes of social and cultural identity, representation, heritage, and the African diaspora.
Her latest project takes her into the world of film, as she begins post production on ‘Nwanyịbùífe’ - an experimental art documentary that follows the journey of 6 women all over the world reflecting on who they are and who they want to become. The film touches on themes ranging from mental health, LGBTQIA+, female identity, motherhood and family, ancestry and climate change.
Chin We has won the Arts Council England Award 4 times, is a fellow at the Royal Society of Arts, has appeared in five exhibitions over the last three years, and has appeared on CNN.
Chin We takes us through her process of moving from photography to film, how she’s secured funding for the project, and why awards are so important for creatives to establish their reputation and lead them onto the next step.
