Ritual Clowns
Masayesva (Hopi) deftly alters anthropological footage using montage, oral tradition, and early video animations to depict Hopi symbols and ritual clowns. Shifting between found footage, depictions of land, and school children in costume, Ritual Clowns narrates the educational, cleansing role of Hopi clowns and humor seen in Southwest Pueblo plaza traditions across generations.
