WALKABOUT: The Nest Collective
When: Saturday 10 September 16:30
Where: Booth 57, Joburg Art Fair
The Nest Collective presents the film
Black Fantasia and comic book
They Sent You. The collective will show shorts from the film and discuss how
Black Fantasia collects several future, past and imaginary narratives about blackness: a blackness that carries the weight of colonial and post-colonial tyrannies, a blackness that celebrates, worships, dreams and questions — far beyond the limits of struggle and oppression.
They Sent You is an anthology of short photo-comic vignettes set in an imaginary future Nairobi, and accompanies this conversation.
