“TABOO: That’s not African!”
Featuring
Tunde Kelani, Yves Sorokobi, Branwen Okpako
“TABOO: That’s not African!” will examine controversial topics in contemporary African societies and communities, focusing specifically on traditional religious practice, alternative sexual identities and the experiences of people of mixed race. The panelists will discuss these issues as socio-cultural phenomena but also as subjects for artistic expression and entertainment. We will begin with the film screenings and then proceed to the panel discussion.
