Ng'endo Mukii is an award-winning film director most well known for ‘Yellow Fever,’ her documentary-animation exploring Western influences on African women's ideals of
beauty, and more recently, Enkai, her episode on the Disney+ animated anthology, Kizazi
Moto: Generation Fire.
At the prestigious Design Indaba conference she presented her talk, ‘Film Taxidermy and Re-Animation,’ proposing the use of animation as a means of re-humanizing the ‘indigenous’
image; a people whose ‘real’ image is burdened with stereotypes of being the ‘Other.’

She is an alumni of the beautiful Berlinale Talents, the distinguished Urucu Media REALNESS Screenwriter’s Residency, and the incredible Goethe Institute Bahia Vila Sul artists’ residency.
She is a Professor of the Practice at School of The Museum of Fine Arts at TUFTS University in Boston, a writer on Netflix first African animated series, Supa Team 4. She is the writer-director of Enkai, and absolutely ecstatic to have had the opportunity to push her love for mixed-media animation to such a high level while creating this film.
