The Creole Lens is an ongoing practice by Janilda Bartolomeu which engages with (post)colonial hauntings, collective memories and diasporic film from across various contexts – through the means of making, researching and (film) programming . These aforementioned subjects are largely envisioned through a speculative lens, that not only documents but also activates potentialities.

Janilda Bartolomeu aims to research and subvert the standardised language of film, while playing on the intersections of memory and speculation. Her ideas usually take the form of audio-visual installations.

She is currently working as an anti-disciplinary artist and programmer for various festivals, institutions and online platforms.
