About this event
To Where Are We Beautifully Going?
To take off, to release oneself into flight, what is required? Is it conviction or a beautiful loss of control? Embarking from literary moments of flight, “I got my things and left.” (Dambudzo Marechera, House of Hunger) and “Then I buckled up my shoes, and I started.” (James Baldwin, Go Tell it on The Mountain), To Where Are We Beautifully Going? invites the audience on a sensory journey over vast temporalities and spatialities through the work of artists, writers, curators and thinkers.
In this first installment we invite curator, writer and activist Samuel Girma who will give a talk on CinemAfrica, and delve deep into his practice. He will also present and show the film Affirmations (10 min) by the late American filmmaker, profesor, poet, and gay rights activist Marlon Riggs. Affirmations is part of the CinemAfrica 2020 Film Festival programme.
