about Jabu Nadia Newman

From the provocative to the pop culture-esque

Jabu Nadia Newman’s work is as diverse as her constantly shifting pool of inspirations. This young director deftly explores a range of subject matter with sensitivity and humour, from the provocative to the pop culture-esque. Through her bold and colourful visuals, Jabu captures 'alternative' stories unique to South African youth culture, that are relevant to the here and now. Jabu is inspired to bring her conscious aesthetic to commercial filmmaking, championing equal representation both in front of and behind the camera.
