The event was curated by Brussels-based Afrocentric collective Som·m·e Of Us, themed around the resilience, essence, and political charge of Black joy. It included a screening of our short film Of Us, which explores migration, identity, and the ancestral ties between body, memory, and water.
Performed live in Brussels and directed by Liara Barussi, the piece featured emerging talent from Jukebox Academy, set to the soundscape Omi by Felix Taylor & Melo-Zed.
