Race, Rights & Sovereignty – Coconut Head Generation Film Screening
Tuesday 12 March 2024
Join us for a screening of Alain Kassanda’s Coconut Head Generation, which documents the height of the #EndSARS movement and a people’s struggle for collective power. Refreshments and a space for informal discussion will be provided after the screening.
Every Thursday, a group of students from the University of Ibadan, the oldest in Nigeria, organizes a film club, transforming a small lecture hall into a political agora where they develop a critical voice. “Coconut Head Generation”, a scornful expression to designate a stubborn and brainless youth, takes on a whole new meaning when the students turn this stigma around to claim their freedom of thought.
This event is part of the Race, Rights & Sovereignty ‘What Will Be the Cure?’ strand. ‘What Will Be the Cure?’ is a programme strand geared towards artists and practitioners who wish to collectivise, experiment, and conspire towards transformative change.
Programmed in partnership with the GSASA for Independent Study Week – For more info on other events taking place click here.
The Race, Rights & Sovereignty series is a free programme of public lectures, workshops and other events delivered by The Glasgow School of Art and The Art School: GSA’s Students’ Association.
