Renée Akitelek Mboya is a writer, curator, and filmmaker. Her custom is one that relies on biography and storytelling as forms of research and production. Mboya is presently preoccupied with looking and speaking about images and the ways in which they are produced, especially how they have come to play a critical role as evidence of white paranoia, and as aesthetic idioms of racial violence. Mboya seeks to better understand the ways in which images are used to reinforce the institutionally manufactured narrative of the racialized body as a constant danger to the law. Mboya works in Dakar and Nairobi and is a collaborative editor with the Wali Chafu Collective.
