African Mirror Podcast Videos
I direct, shoot, and edit video content for a newly released weekly podcast series called African Mirror. I also handle the graphic design and motion graphics for the project as well.
The African Mirror Late Night Show reflects audiences’ lives, experiences, and backgrounds through African eyes.
Each week join your host, DJ ORIKol, as she breaks down African current affairs, reviews the latest in culture and art from the continent, as well as interviews with special guests, and live DJ sets from ORIKol herself.
See Africa, and yourself from a new perspective. See the world through the African eye.
Remembering & Reflecting
This week ORIKoL is joined by a fantastic duo of guests (Janina & Makanaka), for a conversation about reflecting on Africa's spiritual history, what has been lost due to western influence, and regaining the power of their own cultures. This is part one of a continuing series.
The Heart of Africa
This week, DJ ORIKoL gives us a run down of her Mother Land Burundi. Talking about history, food, art, society and day to day life, we get an insight into the culture that ORIKoL grew up in. Not only is this a great chance to get to know our host better, but we want to share this to lay a foundation for conversations about decolonisation through spirituality. By understanding what it means to have your home’s culture shifted to a western influence, it’s brings up questions about what has been lost in the process.
African Film Festival (NZ, 2020)
In this edition of African Mirror: DJ ORIKoL visits opening night of the African Film Festival (Auckland/Wellington, NZ). This is a volunteer run initiative with the mission to promote African culture through the medium of film, and a desire to provide an equal opportunity platform. Over the course of the evening we had a fantastic time getting to know the organisers, entertainers, and fans that make the festival possible.
