To mark Black History Month, Norman Rea Gallery and the History of Art Department invite you to an exclusive screening of two moving image works, Who Killed Colin Roach? (1983) and Derek (2009) by acclaimed British artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien CBE RA. Who Killed Colin Roach? is a poetic investigation into the murder of a young black British man outside a police station in East London. Derek is a documentary exploring the life and art of pioneering queer filmmaker Derek Jarman. The films will be shown sequentially and be introduced by the directors of the gallery, Senah Tuma & Faith I Weddle. This event will take place online on October 20, 2020 at 7pm. A link to the website will be provided closer to the time.
