In Praise of Still Boys

Monday 4 October 2021

A meditative evening exploring boyhood, the Atlantic ocean and magic.

 

We are pleased to be presenting an in conversation with Julianknxx on In Praise Of Still Boys at 180 The Strand, a three screen film that reexamines Julianknxx’s childhood growing up in Sierra Leone. Exhibited through the lives and experiences of young boys living and growing next to the blue waters of the Atlantic ocean, the film meditates on change, fate and everyday magic. The visual poem explores the relationship between Freetown, the Middle Passage, and the African diaspora, imagining a space in which young Sierra Leoneans can try to write their own stories into global history.

Come and experience In Praise of Still Boys and listen to Julianknxx in conversation.
