Sankofa Stages – Amplifying Black & African Voices returns for its second edition! 🎬
🎬 WHAT: Filmscreening & Talk
🗓️ WHEN: November 6th, start: 7pm, doors open: 6pm
📍 WHERE: Miriam Makeba Saal, Berlin Global Village, Am Sudhaus 2, 12053 Berlin
The event is free of charge and will take place in German and English.
In collaboration with Sister Cities on Screen, we present two powerful films that explore memory, identity, and belonging in very different ways.
Following the screenings of The Wind on Your Skin and Princess Amakhoe, we’ll be joined by the filmmakers Naomi Beukes-Meyer and Markus Spitta, who both draw on their biographical connections to Namibia and reflect on them through their artistic practice.
The new cultural event series at Berlin Global Village creates a vibrant space celebrating the creativity, diversity, and vitality of Black and African art and cultural production in Berlin. At its heart is the meaning of Sankofa—a symbol from the West African Adinkra tradition that reminds us to draw from the past in order to shape the present and the future.
🤝🏿 In cooperation with Afrika-Rat Berlin Brandenburg e.V., ANEE e.V., Initiative Perspektivwechsel, Sister Cities in Action, and Berlin Global Village gGmbH.
