TJenn Nkiru: Film Screening and Q&A

Join us for the world premiere of Jenn Nkiru’s new film, followed by a Q&A from the visionary filmmaker
 
Grounded in the history of Black music, Afro-surrealism, experimental film and the Black arts movement, Jenn Nkiru has developed her own style of filmmaking, switching between eras and locations in a process she describes as “cosmic archaeology”.
 
Join us for the launch of a new film inspired by Manchester’s industrial history, commissioned for Virtual Factory – a series which invited artists to create digital works inspired by the architecture and site of Factory International’s new cultural space, Aviva Studios.
 
In this new film, Nkiru weaves together new footage and archive material to explore parallels between architecture and the human body – and how they both shapeshift through time and space.
 
After the screening Jenn will be giving a Q&A joined by a special guest host.
