Odju di Tera | Olhos da terra
Silénsi ku Fogo | Silêncio e Fogo
![]()
In the stillness of an image, there is a presence that speaks. This video installation portrays
the faces of the women who fought for Guinea-Bissau’s independence. These are portraits
that breathe, observe, and refuse to be forgotten. This installation proposes silence as a form
of discourse. Their odjus—direct, restless—create a visual archive of resistance. This is the
sound of struggle in its most silent yet most present form. Video Installation - 2025
This video is part of a online exhibition “Sounds of Resistance” curated by KJ Abudu for Der
Greif Guest Room. For viewing inquiries, please contact the artist. Contact

Video Art - 14’32 2025
Still is a nearly motionless sequence of sky images that invites us to pause and listen to time
amidst collapse, excess, and the noise of the now. It asks how to be and see when everything
rushes and screams, lingering without answers as it breathes and expands.

necessary imperative that led them to fight alongside their fellow men. Mistida crosses war
