Jabu Nadia Newman talks about the importance of womxn in film
Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017
A close reading, kept within reach.
Jabu Nadia Newman and The Foxy Five takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Jabu's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
“My design method is film, specifically telling stories through images.”
