Writer
and poet Selina Nwulu and filmmaker Onysha D Collins (both former Shake!
participants now involved with Shake! as facilitators and mentors), have
teamed up for a series of spoken word films produced by Platform.
The three
films ‘Before’, ‘Our Parents’ Children’, and ‘Home is a Hostile Lover’ are part
of a commission from metaceptive for their ‘Footprint Modulation’ season on
art, climate and displacement. They address, among other things, the themes of
migration, displacement, identity, and the environmental damage in Nigeria caused by the oil
industry.
The
films were first screened at ‘Silence Would Be Treason: Between Nigeria and here + Durham De-Oiled’, a
joint event by Platform and Transition Durham, which took place in Durham
earlier this week.
All
three pieces written and performed by Selina, and filmed and edited by Onysha.

'Our Parents' Children'
