Drawing specifically on video art and film, House of Reasoned Truths assembles works by African artists whose art addresses community and social cohesion, feminist histories, diasporic subjectivity, geopolitical and environmental forces, performativity, and power.  The artists whose work is featured here use the conventions of their own social worlds to speak to those conventions and their contradictions, acting as catalysts for on-going discussions about Africa and the world today, beyond historically reductive classifications.
