PROGRESS (1968) INSTALLATION


  • Windrush Square Brixton London SW2 1EF UK (map)

A short film by Decolonising the Archive, with help from Imigongo Films, and co-produced by African Street Style London. This film forms part of 'Progress' an arts and archive project, which combines personal memories and insight with artistic expression, to sensitively create new material that reflects periods of social and political significance.

Progress mobilises spoken word, oral history, animation and more to reflect on the past/present/future of African people wherever we may be. Featuring contributions from performance poet and artist Nadeem Din-Gabisi, stalwart activist and research scientist Altheia Jones-LeCointe, writer Yovanka Paquete Perdigao, author and cultural commentator Professor Carolyn Cooper, academic Andrea Machel , choreographer Adriano Oliviero, UX designer Florence Okoye and curator Neema Githere, posthumous contributions from Dr Walter Rodney, James Baldwin and Amilcar Cabral and a soundtrack from Steam Down, its a powerful 20 minutes that you won't forget.
