Sunday March 2nd at the Black Arts Centre for the special double-screening of short films “Faaji Agba ” directed by Remi Vaughan-Richards and “That B.E.A.T.” (2013) directed by Abteen Bagheri + open discussion with exhibition co-curator Vanessa Fajemisin. Presented as complimentary programming for the current BAC exhibition “Within the Mould; Against the Grain”.

Faaji Agba (2015) dir. Remi Vaughan-Richards

“An intimate portrait of the history, culture and music scene of Lagos, Nigeria from 1940 to present day, through the lives of a group of 68-85 year-old master musicians brought back from obscurity by Kunle Tejuoso, owner of Jazzhole Records. This documentary follows their lives and for some, their death. Filmmaker Remi Vaughan-Richards, a ‘student’ of the era, has been documenting Kunle and the Faaji Agba musicians since 2009 to keep their musical legacy alive and relevant. “

That B.E.A.T. (2013) dir. Abteen Bagheri

“Showcasing bounce music of New Orleans, this documentary short explores this genre and how specifically gay rappers and women have come to make it their own.”

4-6PM Sunday March 2nd

(first film will start at 4:15pm)

Join Anakbayan BC for a community potluck as we commemorate the 39th anniversary of EDSA People Power Revolution.

From February 22 to 25, 1986, millions of Filipinos marched on Manila's main highway, Epifano de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), to demand the end to Ferdinand E. Marcos' tyranny over the Philippines. These events marked the culmination of the Filipino people’s long-fought battle against social injustices, ballooning national debt, corruption, and election fraud under the Marcos dictatorship. It showed the immense power of the Filipino people when united under a common struggle!

We commemorate this occasion to honour and pay respect to those who fought for justice and freedom despite state repression and corruption. While Filipinos continue to suffer today under the nation’s ills of imperialism, bureaucrat capitalism, and feudalism, we must carry on the spirit of the EDSA People Power Revolution by continuing to organize and advocate for the rights of the most oppressed peoples and for a just future!

Reject and resist the US-Marcos fascist regime!

No to historical revisionism!

Activism is not terrorism!

Never again, never forget!

Magkaisa at ituloy ang laban!

Visit the Black Arts Centre tomorrow for a very special Sunday as the gallery will be open in the form of a listening room.

From 2-5pm (closing) the gallery will be playing “Showbiz!” New York-based rapper-producer MIKE’s latest dreamy yet lucid 24-track album. The prolific Brooklyn rapper reflects on dislocation and homecoming with his most refined, spiritual-sounding album to date, influenced by interesting sample selection, his Nigerian heritage and other existential lyrical themes. Relax in our book nook or take in the current exhibition to the latest sounds and musings from MIKE @mikelikesrap
