2024: The Ten Year Anniversary
Celebrate with us.
It’s been ten years since Cecile Emeke began her creative practice, releasing two of her seminole works to date, ‘Ackee & Saltfish’ and ‘Strolling’ within the same year, in 2014. We are taking this moment to not only revisit this work and look back to 2014 reflexively, but to also look towards 2034 with curiosity. How has art, film and culture changed over the last decade? How have we changed? And who are we becoming? Who do we want to be and where do we want to be a decade from now?
We will be marking this milestone with a one off anniversary screening at Genesis Cinema on Saturday 21st September. Purchase tickets here via eventbrite.
We are also releasing limited edition giclée prints of the original ‘Ackee & Saltfish’ film artwork, hand drawn and illustrated by Cecile Emeke in 2014 for you to add to your collection, available for purchase below.
