Synopsis
Artifact #3: Terra Nullius visualizes how personhood, family and intimacy are influenced by lineages of trauma and spirituality within diasporic Caribbean identity. An exploration of how migration and memory affect manifestations of the Anglophone Caribbean family from the pre-Independence period to the present, the film uses the filmmaker’s own family history as a point of reference.
Artifact #3: Terra Nullius screens as part of the shorts program Homelands, on Thursday, July 1 at 6:00 pm.
Please note: this film can be viewed only once during a three-hour window beginning at the scheduled time. For more information on viewing your film, please visit our FAQ and How to Watch pages.
About the Director
Kearra Amaya Gopee is an anti-disciplinary visual artist from Carapichaima, Kairi (the larger of the twin-island nation known as Trinidad and Tobago), living and working on Tongva land (Los Angeles, CA). Their research-based practice focuses on violence as it exists in/is enacted on the Anglophone Caribbean and its diasporas. These histories and their possible afterlives are rendered elastic and atemporal, leaving ample room for their rearticulation. Kearra holds a BFA in Photography and Imaging from New York University and is an alum of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Currently, they are a MFA candidate at University of California, Los Angeles.
