Great that @dreamhampton 's film is coming to Rotterdam & Bijlmer. The HipHopHuis screening happening while their Amílcar Cabral expo is up, reminds me of the early work of & forever kinship with Adison dos Reis & Concrete. Life changing.
Check the pictures in her post for info.

Hi @albertheijn , ik kocht net op Bijlmerplein twee pakken glutenvrije crackers. Bij het openen van de verpakking zag ik dat van beide pakken de binnenste, plastic verpakking al open was. Ik maakte gebruik van de korte bon bij de zelfscankassa so... geen aankoopinfo. What to do?
Dr. @MustafaNawal is such a Light. And, a genius. At her PhD defense, she gave us nuffin' but rigor, discipline, clarity, shots and smoke. Such a brilliant mind. Also one of my favourite readers. She's a reader-reader, my goodness. The connections she makes between works? Fire.
Nina Simone singing how she'll use a Bible, a razor ánd a gun to kill someone? Truly some of my favourite fighting words in the history of pullin' up. Also love how trickster-esque her "And Lawd knows we need a lot of sweet dreams" sounds. As if chuckled from behind your shoulder
Being on the jury for the Ammodo Tiger Short Competition of the ever so awe-mazing #IFFR was a great, inspiring experience. Thanks for the great care, @IFFR . We're about to announce the winners at @WORM_Rotterdam .
(Bless you if you enlarged the pic to try and see... No, fam!)
Angela Wanjiku Wamai's film #Shimoni is gorgeous. Such beautiful, tender & intentional work. I attended the European première last night at #IFFR and I'm absolutely making time to see it a 2nd time here. Check their website for the schedule & try to attend a screening with a Q&A.
