From British-Jamaican parents, she was raised in South Africa, studied in Thailand and England and now works between these three continents. "Rharha" perfectly illustrates this generation from a globalized world. She travels the globe as an artist and artistic director as the founder of her own agency "Noirwave Manifesto".
In this talk, Rochelle will take you on a journey of self- discovery through her hybrid upbringing, the double-consciousness it created within her own identity/sense of belonging and the third space she created as a result. Rochelle Nembhard is a creative director, filmmaker and co-founder of Noirwave. Born in the UK to British Jamaican parents, she was raised between South Africa and Asia. Her work explores identities developed across diverse experiences and cultures, forged through a contemporary African lens. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
