Jyoti Mistry

In this episode Jyoti and Katarina Hedrén continue a conversation about identity, belonging and creative expression that has been going on for years. Jyoti talks about the importance of ‘play’ as a strategy, about freedom and why she makes no distinction between her roles as a filmmaker and an educator.

Renowned South African filmmaker Jyoti Mistry - Professor of Film at HDK-Valand at Gothenburg University, Sweden - works in film as a mode of research and artistic practice. Her most recent work is a trilogy exploring race, gender and sexuality through archival sources: When I grow up I want to bea black man, Cause of Death and the forthcoming Loving in between.
