Event: Watch-Africa Film Festival: If Objects Could Speak

Join us for a chance to see documentary screening of, If Objects Could Speak, by Saitabo Kaiyare and Elena Schilling, building on conversation around colonial belongings, identity and fear. They are filmmakers who embark on a journey to find and learn the roots and background of pieces found in European museums, many of which have lost its story.  

We will be showing short films by Welsh and Cameroonian artists who will share with us thoughts on issues of identity, heritage and what it feels to be Deep Within Our Skin - And the opportunity of a show and tell of a collection selected by Bronwen Culquhoun for attendees to view and build dialogue around 

To commemorate unheard stories about WW1 & 2, we will screen a documentary called ‘A Place Called Wahala’ by Jurgen Ellinghaus. The film opens one of the many unknown chapters of Afro-European past and colonial history. There is an overlap of pictures from present-day life and testimonies more than a hundred years old, from a time when European colonial expansion was at its peak.
