The CARISCC Research Network warmly invites you to a film screening and panel discussion for the documentary 'Shashamane', directed by Giulia Amati, which takes place on Thursday 10th May 2018 (6.30-9.30pm) at Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, B12 9QH, UK.
Filmed on location in Birmingham, London, Kingston and Shashamane, this documentary records the unique experience of Caribbean, American, French and British Rastafari who settled in Shashamane in Ethiopia. The film explores the histories and legacies of colonial enslavement, and also offers outstanding testimonies of the joys and the challenges of returning to Africa expressed by those who have made this important journey.
The screening will commence at 7pm, introduced by Patricia Noxolo (University of Birmingham), the lead researcher for CARISCC. The event will also include a panel discussion with the following distinguished guests: Giulia Amati; Sonia E. Barrett; Shango Baku; Derek Bishton; and Mama D. Drinks and light refreshments will be served from 6.30pm.
To reserve a place at this FREE film screening, please call the Midlands Arts Centre box office: 0121 446 3232 (opening times: 9am-9pm).
This event is part of CARISCC’s touring presentation, 'Negotiating Caribbean In/Securities through Creativity: A Research Project and Art Exhibition' – funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The exhibition will be displayed at Midlands Arts Centre, from Tuesday 8th May – Sunday 1st July 2018.
