The Creole Lens is an ongoing practice by Janilda Bartolomeu, which through the means of research, film programming & curation – engages with diasporic cinema, (post)colonial hauntings and collective memories across various contexts. These matters are largely activated through a lens of speculative genres and approaches. 

Janilda Bartolomeu aims to research and engage with cinema which first-and-foremost honours Afro-diasporic histories across the globe, while playing on the intersections of memory and speculation.

She is currently working as an artist filmmaker, researcher, writer and film programmer for various festivals, institutions and online platforms.
