Visions of Panafrica 

Visions of Panafrica is a film series that builds on the themes explored in the exhibition Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica, bringing them to life through the medium of film. 

Drawing inspiration from the collaborative spirit of Pan-Africanism, the programme is structured around a network of alliances with cultural organisations of different scales: in the Raval neighbourhood in Barcelona, in Barcelona itself and further afield. Among our partners are Filmlab Palestine, Filmoteca de Catalunya, Dart festival and the Zumzeig cooperative cinema. These collaborations activate a space for collective reflection on struggles for self-determination, archives of resistance and anti-colonial imaginaries. 

The series presents a diverse selection of films from Africa and its diaspora that explore the cinematic history of memory, territory and emancipation. In dialogue with the Project a Black Planet exhibition, Visions of Panafrica broadens its curatorial focus to encompass film languages and collective practices that have played a part in envisioning and creating a Black planet. This is a cinema without a geographical centre, woven from displacements, affects and transnational connections, reaffirming the cultural and political relevance of Pan-Africanism.
