Naa N’ku Müna, which translates to a Queen of Shea Butter, or a Woman of Desire, is an Afro-futurist collage that explores identity through intersecting narratives. In the film, Ghanaian-American artist ABENA imagines an alternative universe, or perhaps another lifetime, in which she was born into different roles, classes, trades, and times in the history of Ghana.
