About

On this episode, I spoke with Njaimeh Njie, a photographer, filmmaker, and multimedia producer. Njaimeh grew up in Pittsburgh before heading to Washington University in St. Louis to earn a B.A. in Film and Media studies. Njaimeh describes her primary focus as documenting the everyday experiences of groups whose experiences are misrepresented and erased. She recently won the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts’ Emerging Artist award and has her own video production company, Eleven Stanley Productions. I first saw Njaimeh’s Power(ed) by Grace videos and reached out to learn more about her and her work. We talk about abstraction, Spike Lee’s Blackkklansman, and thinking about how to exist in white spaces. This interview is short and sweet, so I hope you enjoy it.Links Mentioned: Njaimeh’s WebsiteNjaimeh’s InstagramEleven Stanley ProductionsNjaimeh’s group show at Future TenantMost Wanted Fine ArtAdvancing Black Arts in PittsburghNjaimeh’s Power(ed) by Grace videosGordon ParksTeenie HarrisLorna SimpsonCarrie Mae WeemsMore about Alisha Wormsley’s text in my interview with her Audre Lorde’s wonderful quoteFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram Hosted on Acast.
