MOTV (My Own TV)

The American dream is supposed to be simple, right? Two hearts meet, they fall in love, they have a family and the white picket fence. In Ayoka Chenzira’s “MOTV (My Own TV)” the dream is given complexity as the couple’s inability to have a child and move beyond their financial circumstances begins to make the dream feel like entrapment. With Ayoka Chenzira’s tenderhearted hands and experimentation with form, this intercultural vision of the American dream of loving moves from fantasy to reality.
