Dominic Yarabe is an award-winning filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist based in New York.
Her work has screened at numerous festivals, including Sundance, Telluride, True/False, Big Sky where she won the Artistic Vision award, New Orleans, Athens International Film and Video Festival and more. She is a 2024 MacDowell Fellow.
Her 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.
She received her MFA in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford University and her MA in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University.
