Black History Month: Sinners, Spirituality and Ancestry Talk

Saturday 17th October 2026

Join Dr Michelle Asantewa for a personal and thought-provoking reflection on Sinners, exploring the film through African spirituality, ancestry, ritual and cultural memory.

The talk will explore spirituality, cultural memory, ritual and the enduring relationship between the living and their ancestors.
