We're really excited to be taking part in Performa 17 this November 12th! A selection of our films (To Catch A Dream, When We Are, We Need Prayers and Dinka Translation) will be screening at New York's performance art biennial as part of the Afroglossia Film Program (our Charvet typeface was used to design the program logo!).

In addition, Performa commissioned us to create a new piece that will premiere as part of the Afroglossia program. A continuation of the We Need Prayers series we began in June, This One Went to Market stars Patricia Kihoro and chronicles the making of an art star with a dubious relationship to her subject matter. If you happen to be in New York City, do drop by the Anthology Film Archives on Sunday November 12th at 6:45pm and see the works! Program details here.
