A black woman wanders through a museum, carefully examining each painting, searching for something. In the background, a voiceover recites titles, describes artworks, and gradually reveals the place that Western art has often reserved for black female bodies. Another black woman walks through the streets of Brooklyn, gazing in wonder at the black women around her - living incarnations of the new Venus.

Fragments for Venus is a film about the ways of looking at looking, a concept central to feminist film theory since the 1970s. As Alice Diop explains, this film aims to show that “we - artists, writers, thinkers - are here now. It attests to the way in which we are now ready to express ourselves”.
