Ja’Tovia Gary is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist working across documentary, avant-garde video art, sculpture, and installation. Gary seeks to trouble notions of objectivity and neutrality in nonfiction storytelling by asserting a Black feminist subjectivity and employs a rigorous interrogation and apprehension of the archive in much of her multivalent work.
Previous films have received awards at Ann Arbor Film Festival, BlackStar Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival, and Locarno Film Festival, among others. Select exhibitions include The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, The Hammer Museum, and Centre Pompidou. Gary has received support from the Trellis Art Fund, Ford Foundation, Cinereach, Sundance Documentary Institute, Field of Vision, and is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow.
