    About the Contributors MAILE ANDRADE is a multimedia artist and Professor at Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, developing and teaching in a Native Hawaiian creative expression program. She has a Master of Fine Arts in Cera- mics/Fiber from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and has exhibited her works locally, nationally, and internationally. SOPHIE BACHELIER is a photographer and filmmaker, a graduate in Decorative Arts from Paris who also holds a Master’s in Ethnology. She is interested in how collective history meshes with individual destinies and transforms them. Her work focuses on themes of memory, wandering, exile and their traces; it privileges the actual words, and the silences, of the people she meets over commentary. Her film MBËKK Mi, the breath of the ocean (2013) about illegal emigration in Senegal as seen by those wives and mothers who remain on the shore, received special mention for Best Feature- length Documentary from the Anna Politkovskaya Jury at the 30th Créteil Women’s Film Festival. Her film CHOUCHA, an unfathomable indifference (a collaboration with Djibril Diallo, 2016) received the prize for best documentary at the Festival Vues d’Afrique in Montreal, Canada. In 2017, Sophie Bachelier & Djibril Diallo presented their twelve-part film, REJECTED, at the 57th Venice Biennale as part of the Tunisian Pavilion’s The Absence of Paths.
