The Diaspora Suite - Forged Ways

Director: Ephraim Asili
Ethiopia, USA, 2010, 15', HDD, color, b&w
English with Turkish subtitles 

Ephraim Asili’s five-part series The Diaspora Suite is both a personal and global study of the African diaspora. Created over the course of seven years, every film in the series has a unique rhythm built around a specific amalgam of footage shot in American and international locations — each an important site within the African diaspora.

Forged Ways oscillates between the first person account of a filmmaker, who is a man navigating the streets of Harlem, and the day to day life in the cities and villages of Ethiopia.

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
