Otherness: Interrogating the Politics of Racial Identity in Modern Britain at Rich Mix

Filmmaker Tomisin Adepeju has curated and will be a hosting a screening of short films, which includes BAFTA and Oscar-winning work that interrogates the politics of racial identity in Black and South Asian communities in Britain. How do we navigate racial bias in seemingly liberal environments like the workplace and schools?

The post-screening discussion with the filmmakers will explore the concept and discourse of otherness, exoticism and cultural politics, focusing on the past, our present reality and a possible dystopian future.

There will also be an opportunity for filmmakers and audiences to interact and connect with each other during and after the event.

This is an 18+ event.
