The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

fawns of the city

Sheffield artist Otis Mensah and performer Jamal Sterrett's world-premiere poetic-sonic piece explores diasporic bonding, friendship, and the concept of home. Their intense visual poem addresses racial fragmentation and identity, reclaiming Blackness in pursuit of personal liberation.

This short film will screen as part of Shorts: Body as Archive, followed by a Q&A with the directors.
