“Our Gossip is top notch”
How to Interpret the Masquerade merges personal and found footage to explore the intersection of cultural heritage, colonial history, and spiritual practices within the Yoruba tradition. The film intertwines a series of clips, some created by Iyunade and others sourced from documentaries, to reflect on the significance of masquerading in Yoruba culture.

“The abject is edged by the sublime” – Julia Kristeva”
Self Portrait (Decomposed) is an exploration of the transsexual body through the practice of process cinema. This self-portrait was developed with a mint and hibiscus tea on the new moon, and left to rot in compost until the full moon. The process explores what it means to have a body that is both deeply abject and disposable, and one that is beautifully cared for and sublime.
