01.26–02.13.2026

Curated by Lauren Kelley:
In partnership with Texas Woman’s University and in alignment with the DBFF’s 2026 theme of courage and hope, I am honored to present two multidisciplinary artists—Rashida Bumbray and Amanda Kerdahi M—through separate screenings of their film and video work. In a moment when community building is inseparable from sustaining hope and courage, both artists exemplify cultural workers who use art as a site of assembly, dialogue and empowerment. Kerdahi M explores women’s narratives and diaspora, while Bumbray draws from African American traditions and collective memory. Together, they create spaces that amplify underrepresented voices, bridging local histories with global audiences through ritual, movement, and storytelling.
