PARA LÉLIA, description via KINFOLK TECH:

Para Lélia weaves together artist Kleaver Cruz’s personal revelation with the trans‑continental legacy of a revolutionary who re‑interpreted history through the eyes of a Black woman. It invites viewers to experience that same collage of voices, histories, and possibilities.
