Carmen: Screening and Q&A with artist Sonia Boyce & Paulette Randall

Join us for a special screening of 'Carmen' (2025), a new film artwork by Dame Sonia Boyce OBE RA, made with support from Wandsworth Council as part of the Mayor of London’s London Borough of Culture initiative.

In ‘Carmen’ (2025), Sonia Boyce delves into the life and career of trailblazing Guyanese British actress Carmen Munroe, who reshaped perceptions of Caribbean migrants in the UK through her performances in such West End plays as Lorraine Hansberry’s ‘A Raisin in the Sun,’ and her roles on popular British television programs including ‘Doctor Who: The Enemy of the World’ (1967 – 1968), ‘The Persuaders’ (1971 – 1972) and ‘Desmond’s’ (1989 – 1994). Part portrait, part historical document, Boyce’s film traces Munroe’s impact as an artist and activist.

A screening of the 15-minute artwork will be followed with Sonia Boyce in conversation with Theatre Director Paulette Randall MBE, and an audience Q&A.

Please note: tickets for this event are free and extremely limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
