An experimental short film that honors the Orisha Oshun, a central figure in Yoruba cosmology and spirituality. Rooted in the Yoruba tradition of oríkì—a performative act of praise that invokes the essence, attributes, and destiny of a person, place, or deity—this film reimagines the possibilities of storytelling through a multisensory, synesthetic cinematic experience. Through a series of interconnected vignettes, Oríkì Oshun weaves together sacred stories (pataki) that reveal the multidimensionality of Oshun.
