The conversation grounds our wider Pan-African programming through listening to two foundational figures directly involved in the initiation, preservation, and activation of vital archive work in the UK and globally.
Reflecting on their work as custodians of these collections, June and Pat will place the work of Stuart Hall and Pan-African Cinema archives in dialogue with one another. In doing so, Hall’s idea of “the living archive” is put into practice.
This event is part of a wider collaboration with the June Givanni Pan-African Cinema Archive.
JGPACA recognises the potential that exists to serve a larger and wider community of users, extending beyond its London-centred location and linking its PanAfrican networks regionally and to Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas and Europe. Importantly, JGPACA seeks to enable audiences and participants (communities) in the project to develop their cultural awareness, with a recognition of the complexities of Black identities.
This project is created with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.
