Artist and feminist activist Fatoumata Kandé Senghor lives and works in Dakar, Senegal and makes works in various media including performance, film, video and the written word. She is the first artist-in-residence at the South London Gallery from October to December in the Outset Artists’ Flat. As part of her residency Senghor introduces a screening of her film, Man Kenenki (Me, the Other), the story of two brothers who travel between America and their native Senegal, in a film which explores belonging, history, community and identity. The screening is followed by a discussion around the issues raised in the film and in the artist’s new project, on young people in African cities, with invited guests.

Cost: Free, booking essential.

Contemporary Africa on Screen, a year-long programme of screenings, discussions and workshops centred on film and video by African artists.

Contemporary Africa on Screen explores African creative expression and experience through film, video and new media. The programme brings new work from Africa to London, screening rough cuts and rare material. New work will also be made and shown, by artists working with local communities in south London, with outdoor screenings on Sceaux Gardens estate in Camberwell and debates co-facilitated by artists, academics and members of London’s diverse African communities. Contemporary Africa on Screen is curated by Jennifer Bajorek (Goldsmiths, University of London) and the South London Gallery in partnership with Juma Bah (Community Action Southwark).
