My work:
Hag,.
Creator: Jay Najeeah
As a queer, black Southerner, I rarely saw myself or people like me on screen. Growing up in South Carolina and having received a theatre degree in the state, I quickly learned that work that features my experience was rare to behold on screen. I wanted to see myself, my family, on screen.
the way she fell apart
Creator: Jay Najeeah
the way she fell apart is a visual poem that was written briefly after my diagnosis of bipolar depression disorder. The story (visually and textually) helps me make sense of this never-ending cycle I find myself in as an artist. Feeling as though I'm in a constant state of death and rebirth. This film also allows me to play with visuals that lend themselves to the horror genre.
