This 3-minute video is my visual tribute to one of the most productive, creative, and spiritually astute scholars of the 20th and 21st Century. The video was first presented at the Western Region Conference of the Association for the Study of Classical African Studies (ASCAC) in 2022. Some of the photos I downloaded from past events, thanks to HAPIFILMS. Other photos are mine taken onsite at various events in the US and in Africa. It has always been a delight to “bump into” the Drs. Jeffries when I least expect it…truly divine interventions!
Dr. Jeffries (I lovingly call “Dr. Roz”) is a scholar who recognizes the need to be prolific not only in words and oratory. She has the ability to capture the spirit of an artifact through her own willingness to master skills that come from consciously making objects as a visual artist. Her interpretations are authentic, accurate, and challenges the status quo that continues to distort and misinform.Try it!
