About

Leading actresses meet the women who inspire them. WE. BLACK WOMEN. is a photography and film exhibition curated by Donmar Associate Artist Joan Iyiola that shifts our perspective on British history by putting the collective experiences of black women at the centre of the conversation.

In partnership with Apatan Productions, with photography by Myah Jeffers (Portrait of Britain Winner) and Helen Murray (Widening the Lens) and cinematography by Stephen Ofori (Dọlápọ̀ is fine), this free exhibition is now open in the Donmar’s foyer spaces until 30 July 2022.

The exhibition showcases filmed excerpts of the women in conversation, accessible through a QR code – so make sure to bring your headphones!
