In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I sit down with multidisciplinary artist, curator, and award-winning filmmaker Imani Dennison. Imani’s work delves into the rich narratives of Black culture in the South and the African diaspora, blending folklore, fantasy, and hidden histories in her storytelling. We explore her journey growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, her time at Howard University, and how these experiences have shaped her artistic voice. Imani shares her passion for documentary filmmaking and photography, particularly focusing on her latest film, The People Could Fly, which highlights the significance of roller rink culture in Louisville as a vital community space.

Join us as we discuss Imani’s creative process, her dedication to preserving Black history, and how she brings her unique perspective to the world of film and art.
