Most Brits think @BritishMuseum should have a permanent transatlantic #slavetrade exhibit, reports @TheGuardian. Instead, visit What Have We Here?, show in which British-#Guyanese artist @HewLocke explores the museum’s displays of British imperial power.

A book, #Slave, changed @carolinecleggs life 20 years ago. She’s still hoping the play of the book of the story of the girl captured by raiding Mujahidin in the #Nuba mountains of #Sudan will open more eyes, @RiversideLondon

'Milisuthando' shows a side of #Apartheid #SouthAfrica rarely seen on screen, with criticism of @NelsonMandela and nostalgia for #Transkei, a 'Bantustan' created so #Whites could pretend their #racist policy was “separate but equal” rather than repressive

ALT Milisuthando`: "An invitation into a poetic, memory-driven exploration of love, intimacy, race, and belonging by the filmmaker, who grew up during apartheid in South Africa but didn't know it was happening until it was over."
A film essay investigating the murder of #Congo’s independence leader, #PatriceLumumba, sounds arcane, but it's brilliant, especially if you like an insightful look at Western #imperialism in #Africa - and you like #jazz. It's at @bfilff

It’s a bold man who takes on #Israel-#Palestine as a subject for a one-man show. Bolder still for a Brit who has #Egyptian heritage (and a #TahrirSquare record) & an actor best known for his roles as lead hijacker in United 93 and #DodiFayed in #thecrown
