Events on Wednesday 9th November

“Deep in Mali, on the edge of the Sahel Desert, lies the peaceful city of Gao a stop off, for those with their eyes set on Europe in hopes of finding opportunity, safety, and a better future. An emotional portrait of a place of temporary safety, where tired travellers can seek respite from a journey into the unknown. As migration continues to flow from countries south of Mali like Burkina Faso, Togo, and Benin, they can find support before continuing on into Algeria, Spain and beyond. A uniquely beautiful and humane film about the loss of ‘home’ once you have made the decision to leave.”

“Brook Tate and Daniel DeWolfe present an exhibition of artworks focusing on the male body through a queered lens. Having both grown up as Jehovah's Witnesses with a shared experience of suppressed queerness, their art serves as a vehicle to process their past and redefine their perspective.”
