I Am Kanaka

As a child, artist Hank Willis Thomas was told he stared too much and asked too many questions. Today, these very attributes shape his artistic practice, which pivots on the theme of perspective. This short film follows Thomas as he works on The Embrace (2023), a public memorial to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King to be installed in the Boston Common, and traces how he draws from his background in photography to augment his work with other media and translates the part of an image that impacts the viewer into three-dimensional space. Malika Zouhali-Worrall is a British/Moroccan filmmaker based in New York. Her films examine the intimacy created by networks of care and community, whether through art, caregiving, or political action. An Emmy Award-winning director, her directing credits include the feature-length documentaries, CALL ME KUCHU (2012, Berlin Film Festival, Netflix, BBC World) and THANK YOU FOR PLAYING (2015, Tribeca, POV/ITVS, News &amp; Television Emmy Award), both of which were theatrically released to critical acclaim in the U.S. As an Emmy-nominated editor, she most recently edited THROUGH THE NIGHT (2020, Tribeca, POV), a feature-length film by Loira Limbal that was selected for the 2019 Sundance Edit &amp; Story Lab, chosen as a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter, and recently named as one of The Guardian’s Best Documentaries of 2020.
