A Radical Duet

As part of the live programme of exhibition You Have Not Yet Been Defeated, we're delighted to screen Onyeka Igwe's A Radical Duet, followed by a Q&A with director Onyeka Igwe and curator Thomas Abercromby.

1947 London was a hub of radical anti-colonial activity. International intellectuals, artists, and activists like Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Sylvia Wynter, C.L.R. James, Kwame Nkrumah, and George Padmore were all in London at the eve of the end of British colonialism. Individually, they were agitating for their respective countries' national independence, but did they meet? And if they all did, what did they discuss? What did they conjure?
