Black Beauty (2021) was screened at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival in 2022. Hinging on the figure of a Black fashion model, the video brings the intellectual legacy of Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) into conversation with questions related to fashion, the environment, migration, and Indigenous communities.

Black Beauty relates to Grace Ndiritu’s wider art project Healing The Museum which serves as a platform for a complex dialogue between differing ways of viewing the world through the lens of both postmodernism and modernism. Ndiritu sees shamanism as a way to re-activate the cinematic space as a space for sharing, participation and ethics. From prehistoric to modern times the shaman was not only the group healer and facilitator of peace but also the creative; the artist and filmmaker.
