About this talk
This listening session explores how our politics are shaped by those who have come before us. This deep listening session between cultural strategist and curator Nate Agbetu and his dad, Pan-African activist, filmmaker and musician Toyin Agbetu, explores how politics can be shaped across generations. From new ways of organising in the age of advanced technology to how politics is shared through music, this moment between a father and son bridges timelines to open up honest conversations around activism and intergenerational dialogues, underscored by music that moves across generations. Complementing the Project a Black Planet: The Art & Culture of Panafrica exhibition, this specially curated strand of listening sessions invites audiences into the Gallery across three Friday nights to view the exhibition before an opportunity to reflect collectively via a thought-provoking, multi-disciplinary session. Tickets to this event also include access to view the Project a Black Planet: Exhibition between 6PM-8PM. The listening session will start at 8:30PM.
