Film screening and conversation: South by South: as british as a watermelon | Event in London | AllEvents.in About the event Film screening and conversation: South by South: as british as a watermelon
The film as british as a watermelon (2019), examines systemic racism experienced by artist mandla, a Zimbabwean writer and performer.

About this Event

mandla has a selective memory and is scrambling to piece together a life mostly forgotten in the name of survival.

Through the exploration of mandla’s fragmented asylum and childhood migration memories, as british as a watermelon asks powerful questions about belonging, trauma and forgiveness.

Activating autofictional elements of mandla’s personal history, the artist’s practice reflects upon global histories and new diasporas. Through weaving poetry and storytelling, watch as mandla rises from the dead to reclaim a misplaced power.

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Black Cinema Project.
