Aufzeichnung der Veranstaltung vom 14.11.2024 im Kino des DFF
Nach 30 Jahren Arbeit für das Museum der Geschichte der Sklaverei auf der Insel Gorée vor Dakar begibt sich der Senegalese Alloun in Rachid Boucharebs LITTLE SENEGAL nach New York, um seine amerikanischen Verwandten zu besuchen, deren Ahn*innen als Sklav*innen verschleppt wurden. Little Senegal (2001) des algerischen Regisseurs Rachid Bouchareb thematisiert das Verhältnis von Afrika zum Schwarzen Amerika.
„While African Americans face the challenge of double consciousness, Africans who experience the American notion of race for the first time must contend with triple consciousness as Black, African, and immigrant. Who is Black in America? How are narrative and duality in representations deployed to portray complex interpersonal relations among Black people in America?“ (Dr. Boukary Sawadogo)
Dr. Boukary Sawadogo ist Associate Professor für Cinema Studies und Black Studies am Department of Media and Communication Arts des City College of New York – City University of New York (CUNY). Er ist Verfasser von fünf Büchern und einer der Gründer des Harlem African Animation Festival.
