the memory: sacred groves, sacred nature
The Memory: Sacred Groves, Sacred Nature is a collaborative video project led by artist and cultural worker Oluwadara Ojugbele. It invites community members to create images that reflect their relationships with nature by responding to one another’s contributions within an evolving story, emphasizing cultural and ancestral perspectives. The project will culminate in a video that combines these images into a collective narrative, which will be screened at an outdoor program in NYC in the summer of 2026.
Events
The screening will take place at a date TBD, in collaboration with African Film Festival, Inc.
