Reclaiming Narratives: Community Stories Screening

In line with this year’s national Black History Month, the theme of Our Version Media’s community stories screening is “Reclaiming Narratives”.

Join us for an evening showcasing and celebrating stories from Southampton’s African, Caribbean, and Black British communities. Each story is told by the individuals themselves through mobile video, created after learning how to film and edit using a smartphone during Our Version Media’s Mobile Storytelling course.

Watch their short stories, made-using-mobile, on the big screen. Each “Reclaiming Narratives” story will challenge a negative racial stereotype head-on.

Be part of an evening of real stories, by real people. With Our Version Media’s campaign to tackle negative media stereotypes gaining increasing traction across the UK, this event will highlight the importance of community-led, authentic content creation and storytelling.

With keynote speaker Cherron Inko-Tariah MBE, Editor, Black History Month UK magazine.

There will be a 30-minute reception at 6:30pm before the screening.
