Daphne Di Cinto is an earnest speaker, warm, humorous, relatable, capable of shifting the energy of a room, of holding the attention of both high school students and PhDs. Daphne's passion for themes such as Afro-European history, representation, identity and the power of film as a catalyst for change is undeniable and contagious. Daphne's talks hold space for critical thinking and create fertile ground for meaningful dialogue on the links among media, culture, education, environment, social responsibility and the creation of places where diversity is seen and celebrated as opposed to tokenized. She offers a unique insight into narratives that centre and amplify Afro-European voices. Daphne's personality and unique blend of experiences, paired with a potential screening of her work will leave your audience electrified, inspired and positively curious.

Mission statement

My mission is to give a visual image to hidden histories that belong to us all, to stories that have the power to widen our perception of the world and consequently spark our curiousity, instead of our fear of what we don’t know, of who we don’t know.

Lia Markey, Director of the Center for Renaissance Studies,

The Newberry Library, Chicago

"I've seen the film about 6 times and find it thrilling each time! Our screening with Daphne at the Newberry Library was a great success and brought a huge audience. Just this Monday I showed the film to a Medici graduate course here in Chicago and we had an incredible discussion about Medici power, Premodern Critical Race Studies, and race relations in Italy today. The film fueled us as we rewrote a wall label for a portrait of Alessandro at the Art Institute of Chicago.

I cannot say enough great words about the film and about Daphne."
