black queer nature poem for khadijah (and all of us)

О фильме

This film was commissioned by Fringe of Colour for the online arts festival Fringe of Colour Films 2021, and is inspired by conversations creator Mae Diansangu had with Khadijah, a Black queer Muslim. In their explorations, Khadijah disclosed that one of the places they feel most comfortable and themself is out in nature. This caused Diansangu think about how Black people do not really fit into people's perception of nature lovers, which creates a kind of tension between "nature" (whatever that concept actually means) and Blackness.
