How has your race shaped your life and dreams? A new film from our 3Space neighbours OxygenArts.
Working with a group of young people, the filmmaker captured interviews with people of Caribbean and African heritage from all walks of life. Speaking to people aged 14 to 87 years old, the film uncovers attitudes and issues within education, employment, religion and the wider society. The outcome is a fascinating portrait of the range of experiences that has shaped the black community in London over the past 70 years.
Join the director and a panel to discuss the project. You can book your tickets here and read up more about the project here.
