Join Tina Pasotra for an intimate screening of her latest short film, Jamni (2025), together with two previous works from the last decade of her practice.

As part of the event, Pasotra will be joined by thinker, creator, writer and dreamer, Dr Aditi Jaganathan. Jaganathan’s work explores the emergent cultures which arise from Black and brown diasporic connectivities in city spaces. With a particular interest in creativity as decolonial praxis, she situates the imagination as a radical site of refusal and resistance.

Shifting between archival film and present-day footage of Pasotra’s mother and the landscape of Wales, this is a poetic and multi-layered meditation on class, agency, and the healing ability of the natural world, woven together through an original sonic composition featuring the artist’s voice.
