More from the Filmmaker
This video was a part of a poetry video project highlighting local artists in San Antonio. With this piece, I wanted to enhance the poem through the added visual elements and intimate experience of the location where an artist recited the poem. This video entices the audience to reflect on how the accessibility of an equal education for women of color impacts their culture today.
