Brooklyn-based artist Suneil Sanzgiri’s films, videos, installations, and essays grapple with themes of diasporic histories, memory, and lethal forms of violence perpetrated by social institutions within colonized societies. His research-driven practice has produced works that track the shared revolutionary freedom struggle of India and African countries—Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau—against the colonial Portuguese empire. Sanzgiri also draws from his family’s migration and legacy of resistance under Portuguese occupation in Goa, India. These narratives are told using techniques that blend poetry, interviews, fictional narratives, and mythology, all of which are expressed through archival footage, drone videography, hand-processed film, 16mm film, CGI animation, and 3D scanning.
