Expanded memory: With a range of work that explores “decolonization, memory, language making, transnationality, Afrofuturism, and radicalization of the imagination,” it’s fair to say that multi-media artist Adama Delphine Fawundu takes a broad approach. But her genius lies in powerful details: a transformative shower, a vivid line of paint, an indigenous mask, the light across a posed body, or the stark brutality in a newspaper headline. Fawundu discusses her show “Radiance from the Waters’’ with award-winning Senegalese filmmaker Mamadou Dia in the final installment of the series Seeing Black: Disrupting the Visual Narrative.
