The Twelfth Island: As We Surrender to the Tide | RAW Material Company

For this project, filmmaker Janilda Bartolomeu focuses on undocumented Cape Verdean histories in Dakar. During a residency at RAW Material Company in Senegal, she is exploring the connections of displaced communities with their heritage. The project explores stories of Afro-diasporic women and the history of Cape Verdean communities in Senegal. The results include an artistic film, a publication, an exhibition and three public programmes between Senegal and the Netherlands.
