Watch moreCome watch the Black Diasporas screening, a showcase of 10 short films that document the experiences of individuals of African ancestry living in Naarm.
Making a reference to African oral narrative cultural practices, the project is the result of seventy-five community members and creatives, collaborating to document topics like childbirth, daily life, and the effects of stereotyping.
Telling stories is a political act. While no project can entirely encapsulate the diversity of character, experience, and community, the Black Diasporas series asks questions and provides a platform to hear directly from people of African heritage.
