Nana Dijo is a cartography of the Black experience through a collection
of narratives in first person.
Nana Dijo is an urgent historical registry filmed in Mexico, Honduras,
Uruguay, Argentina and the United States, which opens a crucial
platform of analysis about race relations/politics by transgressing
beyond the parameters of "safe discourses" imposed by culturalist
agendas. The narrative sewed into Nana Dijo grows out of the body
of the oppressed trespassing geo-political borders.
Nana Dijo pursues processes of empowerment while being
critical towards exoticization within hegemonic cultural industries.
Nana Dijo is the complexity in the colonized psyche;
Our elders vernacular manifestation.
Nana Dijo; Irresolute Radiography of Black Consciousness is
the first documentary collaborative project directed by Bocafloja
in collaboration with Cambiowashere.
