SEE MY WORLD: Lagos, Manchester & Me, a short-film exploring cultural and political conditions for artists in Lagos and Manchester, will premiere in three cities this month, Manchester, UK and Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria.
he Manchester premiere will take place 6pm Tuesday 26th March 2024 at CONTACT Manchester.
The illuminating film documents makers, thinkers and doers as they create, interpret and evolve their crafts.
It journeys through a globe-trotting incubation experience for four artists, handpicked by Manchester’s art and culture organisations Big People Music (BPM) and Big People Community CIC (BPC) and The Book Buzz Foundation (BBF).
At its heart, the centring of ideas from artists of the African diaspora, and a unique depiction of the beauty of two oddly connected cities. As much a memoir of the residency experience itself, as an education into the minds and creativity of Pan-African artists who make these cities pop.
The subjects of and behind the camera include Manchester’s very own; music producer and visual artist Joshua Inyang of Space Afrika and multi-disciplinary artist Papa Nii Akushey Quaye aka Renzniro.
