The Portrait
What Oumarou asks of its bearer
Oumarou opens with Ain — an outward self that sees deeply. Beneath the surface, Meem brings an interior of love and water. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. Oumarou ends in Ra — the life resolves through motion. The work of the name is to let umar live through every letter — so that her life takes the same shape as her name.
Oumarou Ganda (1935-1981) — Nigerien filmmaker, pioneer of African cinema.
