An online film screening by Amber Akaunu, accompanied by a live performance from MC Nelson, followed by a discussion on what it means to be British and how/why artists like Amber Akaunu and MC Nelson explore this in their practice.

Amber Akaunu is an award-winning filmmaker, artist, and BAFTA scholar from Liverpool. Her work explores themes of belonging, identity, and Black culture. Amber's creative practice also expands to her role as the co-founder and editor of Liverpool based magazine, ROOT-ed.

The platform aims to represent the underrepresented and has worked with numerous art institutions and individuals to do just that. Amber graduated from university in 2018 with a first-class degree in Fine Art and is now a current MA student at Goldsmiths College in London where she studies Screen Documentary.
