NEGRA

For me, "Negra" is a documentary film in which I expose the process of constructing my own identity as an afrodescendant woman, looking to coincide and build bridges with the stories of other black sisters. "What happened to me, happened to you, it happened to many of us", is one of the phrases of the film that was a guide for me to build a collective and choral story, which I used to seek a certain sense of belonging and community among us.

I use film as a tool to make visible the experiences and existence of the black population in a country that constantly denies us. The few representations that have been made about our identities commonly fall into unworthy stereotypes with which we do not feel represented. That is why it is important to build new narratives and new representations, where our voices are the ones who speak about us.
