A York University Initiative
Daniel Richardson is a Ghanaian filmmaker and multimedia professional with over a decade of experience in television and video production. He is fascinated by the African story and narratives that have the potential to positively impact humanity. He holds a BFA in Film and Television Production from the National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI), Ghana, and an MA in Media Management from the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ). He is currently pursuing an MFA in Film at York University, where his research and creative practice explore the intersections of identity, history, and memory. His current project, A Symbol of Remembrance, engages with audiovisual archives through an essayistic and experimental lens, mobilizing Sankofa both as a cultural symbol of return and recovery and as a framework to interrogate the politics of naming and renaming public space in diasporic and postcolonial contexts.
