]]>Film Screening of documentary 'Dark Girls', followed by panel discussion.
Dark Girls is an honest and powerful documentary film from the US that explores attitudes towards skin colour and the impact of colourism – discrimination due to skin shade.
The film explores the experiences of women with darker skin, whether in the workplace, in relationships or on self esteem.
This screening is being organised by Trinity Community Arts Ltd and Rethink Mental Illness.
Suggested age 12A
In this interactive history workshop, we time travel to meet colonial Australia’s first cook book writer - Mina Rawson. We will watch Mina arrive on the beautiful shores of Butchulla country, with her gun, her Pacific Islander slaves, her husband, and her dreams of making money in global capitalist networks through conquering the land and together analyse what our reactions to her actions can tell us about how we eat and live today. Are the margins of time, violence and the colonies at the dinner table with us still? What might it mean to kick colonisation out of the kitchen? A gentle and provocative engagement with how history can affect and inform us today.
In this workshop Bristol's favourite poet, playright, historian and general all rounder Edson Burton will respond to ‘Concerning the Poem’s Information’ from Édouard Glissant’s Poetics of Relation. Within the text Glissant contrasts the logic of computers or 'information' with poetic knowledge, in order to highlight differences between these modes of thinking/ being. What insights can poetry, and the poetic give us, that computers simply cannot? Does poetry, in some way, resist thinking that seeks to calculate and control outcomes? Or can similarities—and even alliances—be drawn between the unruly suggestiveness of poetic language, and the systematic world of computational prediction. This workshop will create time and space to respond to the short text in a collective setting, with reference to our current, historical reality.

Last year, emerging photographers to take part in Capture FORWARDS. Four up-and-coming photographers took part in a workshop and mentorship programme with industry professionals, which culminated in a paid placement in the media team over the FORWARDS 2022 weekend. Each participant is now working as a photographer in the industry.
The exhibition will feature work from up-and-coming talents:
Speaking about Capture FORWARDS, Megan Tsz Kiu Ip said:
“Capture Forwards was my first opportunity at festival photography, and it was the perfect platform for me to stretch my photography skills and connect with fellow creatives. After Capture FORWARDS, I have gotten more opportunities to photograph events and I’m grateful to those who made the program possible.”
]]>Every year seems to bring more bad news; the poor have to pay for the mistakes of the rich. The cuts have hammered education, benefits, pensions, housing and the NHS. At the same time, global climate change and corporate land exploitation have caused extreme weather patterns, with oil wars and arms sales stirring up conflict across the Middle East and beyond.
However, people have been fighting back, through strikes and the taking up of arms. If capitalism collapsed tomorrow, we ask ourselves: would we be ready?
As anarchists, we have developed concepts around mutual aid, co-operation, and direct action, but how do we put these into practice?
At this year’s Bristol Anarchist Bookfair, we will create a space for people to explore these ideas. How will we create a better, more equal society? How will we hold people to account for their actions, if we abolish prisons and the police? If revolutions happen tomorrow, we won’t have all the answers, and an anarchist society will not occur overnight. But the core principles of anarchism offer us the building blocks for the future, and a roadmap on how to get there.
]]>Brexitannia is a film presented in a unique style which shows the people of a once powerful empire as they negotiate their identities in a world changing faster than ever. This is the first feature documentary portrait of the UK during these unpredictable times. From Aberdeen, to Belfast, to Clacton-by-Sea: Welcome to Brexitannia.
On/off. Yes/no. Leave or Remain? While referenda always divide people, Brexit did so in a manner unprecedented in modern British history. Underneath these binaries we find human beings whose individual stories influenced the outcome of this historic and perplexing vote. Runtime: 1hr 20m Director: Timothy George Kelly
