The Dance of Tomorrow

	
	Director: Axum Araya
A visual I directed for Ashenda, an annual festival celebrating Ethiopian women and girls. Inspired by BeeLyn Naihwet’s poem The Dance of Tomorrow, it&#38;nbsp;weaves poetry, movement, and Tigrayan sounds into a meditation on joy as resistance.

	A bit about me 
I work in digital film distribution and make independent films.&#38;nbsp;
My background spans A24, STARZ, Participant Media, and Screen Media. I’m especially interested in shaping how a film is positioned, discovered, and continues to find an audience.&#38;nbsp;
I produce and direct as well, with a particular interest in Black diaspora stories. I’m drawn to films, images, people, and places that feel specific. The kind that makes you look a little closer.&#38;nbsp;
For me, these two sides of my work are connected by a love of image-making and a curiosity about why certain stories stay with us.


Let’s connect.
