In the Lingala language ‘Nalingi Yo’ means ‘I love you’. In this short film, multidisciplinary artist Rachel Isabel Mukendi explores her Congolese heritage and discusses how love translates through the community of black women that surround her and how the language of love is expressed.
Found in Translation is a series made as part of the In The Mix project, in partnership with BBC Studios TalentWorks, Black Creators Matter and the Barbican.
