The short film that I am currently working on, Luso Trinidad: Home in the land of the homeless, will be screened at the National Museum and Art Gallery on Friday 9th May 2008 @ 7pm. The screening is part of the final year exhibition of the Visual Arts Department of the UWI St Augustine. The exhibition runs from Sunday 4th May (5pm) to Saturday 10th May 2008.
Synopsis
Luso Trinidad: Home in the land of the Homeless is a preliminary investigation into ‘whiteness’ and Luso-Trinidadian identity. This project begins to address prejudice in Trinidad that manifests itself the form of class and colour bias. Video interviews, animation, photo-manipulation and old film sources are combined to construct the narrative. This short film is in no way conclusive; it is a departure point for further examination.
