Haiti, then called Saint Domingue<\/i>, was the first Black republic to gain independence in 1804. The Haitian Revolution started with a Vodoun ceremony and the sacrifice of a pig. In Off the Pig<\/i>, Ehlers uses the symbolic interconnection between the Black Panthers\u2019 depiction of oppression through the figure of the pig (as can be seen in the work of Emory Douglas), to honor liberation struggles and victories like the Haitian Revolution. nIngrid Mwangi Robert Hutter,<\/b> Generationzzzzz, <\/i>2012, 04:33<\/b>
In this piece, the artist addresses noise and silencing in a poetic performance in the middle of a busy street corner in Nairobi. The futility of political activism in the face of public disregard is portrayed with a quiet unpretending stance. This action mirrors the atmosphere of the 1960s and the Panthers in particular, in a totally unpredictable manner.nRa\u00fal Moarquech Ferrera Balanquet, Mariposa Ancestral Memory<\/i>, 2013, 10 min<\/b>
Mariposa Ancestral Memory<\/i> is an experimental narrative that connects many themes and historical incidents related to the African Diaspora. Reflected upon are homophobia, racism, Maya and Afro Caribbean queer spirituality, the African-Caribbean writings of V\u00e8v\u00e9, Anafourana and Kongo, the US Latina\/o migration, the Atlantic Enslavement Trade, the Mariel Exodus, the imprisonment of Angela Davis in the1970s and the Black Panthers Party. nPascale Obolo, Invisible Woman<\/i>, 2008, 6 min<\/b>
Invisible Woman<\/i> is in dialogue with Ralph Elisson\u2019s novel The Invisible Man<\/i>, and portrays the search of a Black woman in Paris, questioning her identity and her place in French society to the point of madness. Her presence is configured through film posters hung up in the city. nShort Film Selection \u201cRain Queens\u201d
