Barni Axmed Qaasim

I am a storyteller and filmmaker who creates art to envision a just and sustainable world. I work with communities to document movements for social justice, train members to use media tools and create media strategies to win campaigns. My work is rooted in the philosophy that those most impacted by injustice and inequity are precisely the ones most qualified to tell their own stories. I focus on capturing images and sounds that evoke emotion and build connections between people because art can bring people together in a way that politics cannot.
