Think of Mascon: A Massive Concentration Of Black Experiential Energy as an audiovisual investigation into the gestures, geometries, grammars and geographies that compose the forms and the forces of the films of Ousmane Sembene and Djibril Diop Mambety from 1963 to 2004.

As an audiovisual mosaic of still moving images and sounds that summons the borderless imagination of the cine-Sahel.

As digital morphologies that assail the imagination with the expansive deformation, compacted compression and amassed concentration that Stephen Henderson calls ‘Mascon’ or ‘a massive concentration of black experiential energy’.
