Tracing Posterity: Screening and Scanning Social
Women’s Museum, Barking Wharf Square 4-5, IG11 7DQ, Barking Wharf Square
About
An evening of short films and archival footage followed by a communal scanning and sharing workshop. Curated by Abel Holsborough, it reflects on the representation of Black British histories in film archives and how selective memories are preserved. Led by and centring Black residents of Barking and Dagenham, it marks Black History Month and invites visitors to bring family photos, DVDs and tapes to be digitised for a borough-wide community archive. The programme includes Early Years by Morgan Quaintance, Super Sam by Sandi Hudson Francis, and Eileen's Party, a home movie by local resident Eileen.
