Following screenings of Atlantique and Dahomey at 10X, visionary filmmaker Mati Diop sat down with ART X Cinema Curator, Tega Okiti, for an intimate exchange on storytelling, identity, and the politics of representation across Africa and its diaspora.
From fiction to documentary, Diop reflected on cinema as a space for reckoning, resistance, and imagination.

In this video, RESONANCE laureate, Mobolaji Ogunrosoye, reflects on her ongoing project Contrasting Loveliness, where self-portraiture becomes a way of examining the contradictions that shape womanhood.
Working across collage and photography, the Lagos-based artist explores perception through distortion—manipulating paper, lenses, and layered imagery to reveal the many ways women are seen, and see themselves.
Through material experimentation, her practice embraces the unexpected - finding beauty in disruption, and meaning in the act of “making a mess”.
Filmed during the residency in Paris, organised by ART X Lagos, Cité internationale des arts () and the French Embassy in Nigeria (), Mobolaji also shares how the experience offered time for reflection, experimentation, and renewed clarity.
