Cauleen Smith

Cauleen Smith (born 1967 in Riverside, CA) is an American filmmaker and artist. Her interdisciplinary work expands from histories and practices of experimental film, including structuralism, Third World cinema, and science fiction. Through immersive installations, moving-image works, sculpted objects, and textiles, she engages with non-Western cosmologies, Afro-diasporic histories, Black cultural icons, real and speculative utopias, and, in her words, "the everyday possibilities of the imagination."
