The third in a three-part series presented by T A P E Collective, of programmes of short films by mixed heritage filmmakers, around the themes of identity and heritage, exploring othering, belonging and the trouble of melting pots.
It’s an experience not uncommon within a diaspora to have your name viewed as too foreign or exotic, and subject to either whitewashing or clumsy - and sustained - mispronunciation. Expanding on the theme, the Call Me By My Name programme will look at the wider ideas of labels and definitions of identity and heritage. This will be accompanied by a Bumpkin Files digital exhibition. Bumpkin Files is a multi-media platform, community resource, and archive which explores Black life in Britain beyond London, in this exhibition Bumpkin Files highlights the often overlooked areas of the diaspora.
