The BFI’s studied neglect of Global Majority issues is exampled by their lack of interest in deaths in custody six years on from their public statements on George Floyd. Last year they did nothing to recognise his anniversary.

This week is the 33rd anniversary of Joy Gardner's deportation death in British police custody where she was suffocated by having 13 feet of tape wrapped around her head while handcuffed.

The African Odysseys event to recognise her death and hear from her family took place at a local community centre in Russell Square on Friday July 31st 6.30pm
It should have been at the taxpayer-funded £127 million BFI Southbank on a national stage but for the BFIs 2025 cancellation of African Odysseys against the wishes of 18,500 people on change.org petition.

African Odysseys month long curation on the subject of police brutality/civil rights was presented at BFI Southbank in 2020 when the BFI, according the its CEO Ben Roberts was ‘committed to anti-racism’. All such films, especially the works of Ken Fero had been championed by African Odysseys at the BFI for decades but were unknown to the overwhelmingly white management there.

Ben Roberts also stated this in June 2020:

We need to embody the change we want to see, and be accountable as a public institution, looking like and reflecting the public we serve…

I took on the role of Chief Executive in February with a commitment to colleagues and our Board that I would put us on a path of radical change. This will mean dismantling the biases and hierarchies that are present within the BFI, and doubling-down on our duty as a public organisation to represent and welcome the perspective of all audiences and filmmakers: through our people, our programmes and collections, and the work we fund.

Where is the ‘radical change’ ? The BFI has gone backwards and defunded African Odysseys despite its 20 year track record of selling out the 450 seater at 2pm on Saturdays and the volunteer curators being worth £6 million

Six years after he wrote that, his Executive Committee remains 88% white. There’s only one Black person at that level, appointed in 2021...

🎧 MISSED THE LIVE SHOW? THE PLAYBACK IS NOW AVAILABLE.

What happens when Black women are given a trusted space to speak openly, ask questions about their health and feel genuinely heard?

In More Than a Workshop: Building Health, Trust and Sisterhood, I’m joined by Tanya Prendergast, and Denise Miguel of Soul Purpose 360 Southwark for an important conversation about Black women’s health and wellbeing.

We explore the pressure to always remain strong, health literacy, trust, culturally responsive support, sisterhood, and the difference community-led spaces can make when women are able to learn, connect and support one another.

We also ask an important wider question: What can health services, councils and funders learn from community organisations that are already building trusted relationships with women?

Featuring the Resilient Women Build Communities programme.
