As the series unfolds we hear from a variety of guests reflecting on navigating creative approaches in artist film and moving image. Unearthing the memories and reflections of Black British film movements, co-ops and collective practices, shedding light on those who worked alone and offering space to those who have been marginalised in their field and across intersections of contemporary life.
This series contributes to 'this broken piece of yard' a year of co-intentional programming towards an entangled communal practice initiated by Cairo Clarke, Curatorial Fellow at LUX.
