Selected Projects
Soon Come Back is a poetic documentary about migration’s effect on my family’s relationships to “home” in Jamaica and the US, and my feelings of alienation being a child of the diaspora.
I talk about my journey with my hair as a black girl, based on a written piece of mine from the summer of 2019.
In this project, I compare images of slaves and examples of scientific racism, like the story of the Hottentot Venus, to contemporary images by photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
Bloodline is an ongoing documentary project by Nande Walters. In this first part, I learn about my family tree, history, and memories.

This book is the second in a series of artist books called Bloodline. Bloodline is a documentary I made about my family tree in 2019, and its sequel will be my senior thesis film in 2023. For this artist book, I used an index card holder to create a collection of items that summarize my grandmother and her mother.
I’m starting to work on my senior thesis film, a sequel to Bloodline. I’ve become fascinated with archives and art books, and this book is my first attempt at gathering the digital photos, the Ancestry family tree I’ve grown through digging around the internet, and other media that represent main characters and moments that influenced me to make this project.
