Florence Ayisi is professor of International Documentary Film. She is a scholar and award-winning documentary filmmaker with over 29 years of experience in film/media education, specialising in documentary filmmaking, critical media literacy, intersectionality, the politics of representation and visibility, and spectatorship. She has produced documentaries in national and international contexts, with numerous screenings world-wide. Ayisi uses film as a method of social inquiry, cultural empowerment and preservation, social justice, memory-making and resistance. Her work is grounded in Pan-African, decolonial, transnational and ecofeminist perspectives, amplifying marginalised voices, fostering counter narratives, alternative knowledge systems to reductive portrayals of African culture and womanhood.
