Too Bright to See (Part I) weaves archival materials with cinematic narrative scenes filmed with an unconventional and modern cast. Drawing inspiration from Caribbean aesthetics and Surrealist artwork, this film installation brings attention to new aspects of Roussi-CĂ©saireâs legacy that are undocumented in the public arena, while addressing the broader question of the continued erasure of women from historical accounts. Hunt-Ehrlichâs experimental narrative artwork draws on her extensive research on the legacy of Suzanne Roussi-CĂ©saire, a writer and anticolonial and feminist activist from Martinique who, along with her husband, AimĂ© CĂ©saire, was at the forefront of the NĂ©gritude movement during the first half of the 20th century.
