A film premiere evening for 'What the Spirit Carved', a new film about the Jamaican-born sculptor Ronald Moody. The film was made by artist and researcher Kedisha Coakley, with videographer Jenson Grant and composer Ashley Holmes. Moving between Britain and Jamaica, it brings sculpture, poetry and archival encounters together to explore creativity, belonging and the people who keep an artist's legacy alive. The evening includes a chance to see the Sculpting Life exhibition, the screening, and a panel talk whose speakers will be announced.
