Visions of Panafrica | Activity
Visions of Panafrica is a film series that builds on the themes explored in the exhibition Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafricabringing them to life through the medium of film.
Drawing inspiration from the collaborative spirit of Pan-Africanism, the program is structured around a network of alliances with cultural organizations of different scales: in the Raval neighborhood in Barcelona, in Barcelona itself and further afield. Among our partners are Filmlab Palestine, Film Library of Catalonia, Dart festival and the buzzing cinema cooperative These collaborations activate a space for collective reflection on struggles for self-determination, archives of resistance and anti-colonial imaginaries.
The series presents a diverse selection of films from Africa and its diaspora that explore the cinematic history of memory, territory and emancipation. In dialogue with the Project at Black Planet exhibition, Visions of Panafrica broadens its curatorial focus to encompass film languages and collective practices that have played a part in envisioning and creating a Black planet. This is a cinema without a geographical center, woven from displacements, affects and transnational connections, reaffirming the cultural and political relevance of Pan-Africanism.
