Black Joy and Climate Activism are two films created through Manchester International Festival and Contact’s Looking Forward to Tomorrow programme.
The two films will be premiering on Reform Radio’s Youtube channel on the 5th and 19th July at 9PM (BST).
Looking Forward to Tomorrow brought together Greater Manchester residents aged 16 to 70 to discuss their hopes, ideas and thoughts on the future. The films showcase an extension of these discussions through the invitation of artists, activists, key workers and campaigners to join their conversation.
In Blakc Joy, host Yandass Ndlovu and artists Tee O Brown, Dorcas Seybuyange and Xana, explore what black joy means to them, positive black representation and taking up space.
Black Joy will be premiering on Reform’s Youtube channel on 9th July at 9PM (BST).
Climate Activism is the second film to be showcased on Reform’s Youtube channel. Emma Greenwood, Youth MP at Bury Council, and young climate activists Debby and Dominion Adegbile (Nigeria), Genesis Whitlock (Antigua/USA) and Mitzi Jonelle Tan (Philippines) discuss climate activism and the North’s role in climate change.
