What: Diasporic Films is a series of free screenings depicting diaspora communities or made by diaspora filmmakers. The themes are often reflective of identity, representation, displacement and visibility. The series seeks to highlight how culture, heritage and experience can open up dialogues about our own positionalities, making us consider how such themes can intersect with our own practices.
