About

Golda Kesse is a London-born filmmaker, actor, and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores identity, ancestry, and spiritual memory.

Her practice moves between film and visual art, rooted in the belief that both exist as forms of visual storytelling. Where visual art captures a moment in stillness, film allows that moment to unfold in time. Together, they form a continuous language through which memory, symbolism, and inheritance can be explored.

Her visual work is deeply invested in portraying presence, interiority, and the beauty of Black women — creating images that hold stillness, strength, and emotional depth. Drawing influence from West African philosophy and symbolic systems, her work explores the relationship between ancestry and the present, and the quiet ways inherited memory continues to shape identity.

Her debut short film, Adinkra, introduces a grounded supernatural world shaped by remembrance, lineage, and symbolic meaning. Her visual art exists in parallel, not as illustration, but as extension exploring the same themes through image, form, and atmosphere.

Her work is concerned with creating images and stories that reconnect the present with what came before.

Golda is currently developing new film and visual projects.

“At the heart of my artistic mission are core values that revolve around the celebration of Black British and west African culture and the expression of profound emotions. My work is driven by a commitment to delivering art that deeply resonates with those who encounter it.” - Golda

“I believe we are all storytellers by nature, it’s just up to us to tell our stories through our God given gifts & talents. Art and film are ways, I tell a chapter in my book.” - Golda Kesse
