EKAYA | Short Film (15 mins) | Post-Production

Antonia revisits the housing association that supported her, where she meets Tara and Dee - two women who know exactly what she's been through. Inspired by Ekaya - a housing association in South London that supports Black women and women of colour - 'Ekaya' highlights the vital support needed for Black women and women of colour in need of help.

Black Corporeal: Breathing By Numbers | Documentary Film (16 mins) | In Screenings

With a layering of poetry, essay, documentary and music, 'Black Corporeal: Breathing By Numbers' exposes the multiple realities of Black life in London and our relationships with this built environment that holds us.

The film is anchored by the returning voice of Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, as she traces her journey to having air pollution officially listed as a cause of death of her 9-year-old daughter, Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, the first time this had happened in the UK.

This moving film highlights the disproportionate impact of air pollution in the inner city, exploring the stark realities of environmental poverty, the oppressive existence of melanated bodies and the working-class, who are often forced to live in urban estates and congested pockets of our city.

However, rather than lament the weathering conditions and social pressures of Black experiences, the film honours a culture of resilience and perseverance, amongst those who have captured the cosmic.
