Dominic Yarabe is an award-winning filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist.
Yarabe’s practice focuses on creating nonlinear, fractured films that refract rather than reflect; that visualize an unconscious way of seeing and experiencing; that traverse the complexities of the immigrant and black experience; and that find an intersection between digital art and social commentary.
Her work is informed by her research in black visual culture, or more specifically, the ways in which black image-making might subvert the colonial gaze in real-time and in its long-term effects within modern forms of digital media.
Her films have screened at numerous festivals, including Sundance, Telluride, True/False and more. She is a MacDowell Fellow, Harvard Film Study Center Fellow, Locarno Residency participant, and a Duke Center for Documentary Studies DocX Residency Fellow. Her work has been featured in Variety, IndieWire, BET, Deadline, and Ebony Magazine.
She received her MFA in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford University and her MA in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University.
Yarabe is currently in development/production on her first feature film.
