The Birth of Naikee (2024)

The film follows the trajectory of Naikee, a black transwoman activist, in her quest for identity and freedom. In addition to revisiting key elements of Naikee’s journey, the film aims to question the overwhelming heteronormative standards of a society too binary to erect an ode to diversity. By re-interpreting Boticceli’s painting The Birth of Venus, Naikee asserts her right to exist differently.
