What: Diasporic Films is a series of free screenings depicting diaspora communities or made by diaspora filmmakers. The themes are often reflective of identity, representation, displacement and visibility. The series seeks to highlight how culture, heritage and experience can open up dialogues about our own positionalities, making us consider how such themes can intersect with our own practices.
Where: Screenings will take place in Lecture Theatre C (LTC) which is located to the left of the main stairs as you enter the building.
When: Doors will be open from 6 PM, screenings start promptly at 6.15 PM. Late comers are welcome but please appreciate and respect the attending audience.
