This film is a journey in time that reimagines Cambridge and presents an alternative narrative of the city via the perspectives and viewpoints of black students and residents. It will provide a historical and intergenerational insight into the city in terms of space and positionality by highlighting the cultural concerns that exist both in the town and gown when these distinctive classed and racialized social worlds collide.

Creative Directors:
Kenny Monrose and Seetha Tan

The event will start with an introduction from Kenny Monrose at 6pm, the film will begin at 6.30pm.
