FYI PLEASE NOTE PROGRAMME CHANGE CELEBRATING NUBIAN WOMEN
As part of International Women’s Month, The Equiano Society and Windrush Foundation in association with Museum of London Docklands present a unique weekend event in celebration of NUBIAN WOMEN. Nubia is the homeland of one of Africa's earliest civilization, with a history that can be traced from about 10,000 B.C. through Nubian monuments and artifacts. In antiquity, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth, of gold mines, ebony, ivory and perfumes.
The main speaker on both 21 & 22 March is Rashid Elsheikh, a Nubian; Kandace Chimbiri’s presentation onQueen Amanirenas and Queen Amanishakheto; Performance Poetry by Asher Hoyles (on 21 March) & Yvonne Bailey (on 22 March).
The programme also includes the screening of Louis Buckley’s NUBIAN SPIRIT, a beautifully shot documentary that unravels the fascinating and often magical legacy of Ancient Sudan. It shines light onto the Ancient African culture, history and spiritual mythology of the people from the Nile Valley. The film digs deep into Ancient Africa's numerous contributions to modern civilization. It draws out the importance of the male, female relationships and it looks at such disciplines as astronomy, architecture, science and much more that the Ancient Africans used to make sense of their world. The film features dynamic interviews with leading scholars, an archaeologist and ground breaking museum curators.
Celebrating NUBIAN WOMEN is at Museum of London Docklands, West India Quay, London, E14 4AL, from 1pm to 5pm.
