Self Divination

In his Video Griots Trilogy, Jenkins creates a series of video meditations on history and culture. Using archival footage, photographs, image processing, and an elegiac soundtrack, he pulls together diverse strands of thought to construct an "other" history. "Self-Divination" speaks poetically about origins and the realities of the African diaspora.
