The arts have always been a vessel for self-expression across the ages: a tool for remembrance, community building, joy and resistance. This film programme is a celebration of the Black British Pioneers within performance and visual arts, showcasing archival works as well as contemporary films and holding space for discussions between curators, archivists and storytellers.

See the Warwick Arts Centre website for the full programme and to book tickets. Various dates throughout November.
