About
This inaugural event in partnership with BeUnited is for our new ‘Coconut & Cane’ series, which aims to strengthen ties within the Black diaspora through film, poetry, music and food. It will tackle the lack of representation in the creative industries by developing opportunities to watch films and meet those already succeeding in relevant fields.
