About

As part of Northampton’s Black History Month programming, NN Contemporary Art And the Northamptonshire Black History Association present a thought-provoking evening in conversation with acclaimed writer and academic Kojo Koram, critic and artist/filmmaker Morgan Quaintance, and artist and educator Shepherd Manyika.

Taking place at Northampton Filmhouse on 27th October, with support from The Royal & Derngate, the evening will explore the intersection of contemporary political strategies and aesthetic practices, featuring an interactive screening, readings, and discussions around decolonization in contemporary culture. Proposing the Black Archives as a tool for contemporary activist practice, through diverse perspectives, the event will delve into evolving anti-colonial discourse by examining different approaches to filmmaking and personal narrative as material to engage with structures of power and class.

The event aims to be a platform for open dialogue and exchange, meshing traditional socio-political and cultural categories. It seeks to provoke thought, ignite conversation, and explore interdisciplinary strategies for contemporary art and activism through filmmaking and critical practice.

Free to attend though registration is required via northamptonfilmhouse.com.
