Description of Research:
Working in conjunction with Drs Danielle Kinsey and Jennifer Evans, I am integrating my multimedia skill set with my research capabilities to produce a historical documentary. Specifically, my research focuses on South Africa during two coinciding sociocultural phenomena: Apartheid and the sexual revolution. Using an archive housed in Johannesburg, I will be exploring the role of erotic photography in the discourse of sexuality on a transnational level. My goals are to uncover how and where these images moved and to contextualize the terms of their consumption. The documentary project will combine archival material, interviews, live videography, narration, and sound design as an interpretation of my findings.
