Paige Taul is an Oakland, CA native who received her B.A. in Studio Art with a concentration in cinematography from the University of Virginia and her M.F.A in Moving Image from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She currently resides in Chicago, IL. "My work engages with and challenges assumptions of black cultural expression and notions of belonging through experimental cinematography. As a part of my filmmaking practice I test the boundaries of identity and self-identification through autoethnography to approach notions of racial authenticity. My interests lie in observing environmental and familial connections to concepts tied to racebased expectations and to expose those boundaries of identity in veins such as religion, style, language, and other black community based experiences."
