AGHDRA

With AGHDRA Arthur Jafa takes his work in a much different direction The film contains just a handful of cuts all of the footage is original It alludes to some of the concerns Jafa explored in Love Is the Messagethe tenuousness of Black life and the twinned notions of beauty and fear that can accompany itbut this new film does so in relatively oblique ways Gone is the music videostyle pacing of Jafas past works In its place is a slower kind of montage that inspires introspection
