National Gallery of Art in the East Building Concourse Auditorium
Washington, DC
Director Akosua Adoma Owusu will be at the screening of her film Me Broni Ba for Work, a selection of shorts curated by Dennis Lim. The theme of “Work” was interpreted “as a means of survival, source of identity, and ceaseless setting for ritual, history, fulfillment, and discontent.”
Adoma is a friend and colleague and this is a chance to see her powerful work.
