Before We Disappear ( 2021 ) dir. Asmaa Jama
︎
Commissioned by BBC New Creatives, an interactive film and live archive that comes from the embodied experience, of being watched, seen, observed and not being able to control that gaze. It came from thinking about how to subvert that. The piece explores invisibility / hypervisibility / archiving and the ways marginalised communities can resist erasure.
BBC - New interactive video explores what it’s like to be invisible
