Dirty Mountain, Holy Computer

Im checking out Janelle Monae’s short film “Dirty Computer” and loving how she pushes Afro-Futurism forward while continually reaching back to the Sacred Feminine. She sings “I just want to find a God, and I hope She loves me too,’ then, in keeping with imagery inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “Holy Mountain,” shows Tessa Thompson as God; in white hat and robe.

She’s shaving two women’s heads, again borrowing from ‘Mountain’ while reaffirming who she represents. This is the God Monae sings about.

But Monae also steps into this role, centering herself as the God figure and internalizing the Sacred Feminine through seeking it.

Jodorowsky’s God figure wore both black and white, just as the pillars behind him here were black and white, representing a being in total balance.

In “Dirty Computer” the black woman on the right and the white woman on the left are surely a nod to this.
