Pan-African Conjunctures: June Givanni and Pat Noxolo

We are honoured to host a conversation between June Givanni, founder of the Pan-African Cinema Archive, and Professor Pat Noxolo, lead of the Conjunctures strand of the Stuart Hall Archive Project at the University of Birmingham

The conversation grounds our wider Pan-African programming through listening to two foundational figures directly involved in the initiation, preservation, and activation of vital archive work in the UK and globally.

Reflecting on their work as custodians of these collections, June and Pat will place the work of Stuart Hall and Pan-African Cinema archives in dialogue with one another. In doing so, Hall’s idea of “the living archive” is put into practice.

What are Solidarity tickets?

We recognise that not everyone has equal access to live events and that the cost of entry is a barrier to some people. Solidarity tickets are free tickets available for anyone who needs it. If you're not sure whether that's you, refer to our guide below (thank you to Matchbox Cineclub for sharing this guide).

Solidarity tickets are for you if you agree with any of the following statements:

• I frequently stress about meeting basic needs (including food, clothing, housing and transportation) and don’t always achieve them.
• I have debt and it sometimes prohibits me from meeting my basic needs.
• I rent lower-end properties or have unstable housing.
• I sometimes can’t afford public or private transport. If I own a car/have access to a car, I am not always able to afford petrol.
• I am unemployed or underemployed.
• I qualify for government and/or voluntary assistance including: food banks and benefits.
• I have no access to savings.
• I have no or very limited expendable income (expendable income might mean you are able to buy tea or coffee at a shop, go to the cinema or a concert, buy new clothes, books and similar items each month etc.)
• I rarely buy new items because I am unable to afford them.
• I cannot afford a holiday or have the ability to take time off without financial burden.
