About this Event

Onyeka is a British-Nigerian artist whose 2022 film in the Jarman screening, The Miracle on George Green is inspired by the 1993 protests in Wanstead that attempted to save a 250-year-old sweet chestnut tree from being cut down. During the resistance, schoolchildren wrote letters addressed to the tree, and Igwe uses these as a starting point to explore radical protests dating back to the 17th century.

Mae Onyeka yn artist Prydeinig-Nigeraidd sydd â ffilm o 2022 yn nangosiad Jarman, The Miracle on George Green, sydd wedi ei hysbrydoli gan brotestiadau 1993 yn Wanstead yn y gobaith o achub coeden castanwydden bêr 250 mlwydd oed rhag ei dymchwel. Yn ystod y gwrthsafiad, ysgrifennodd plant ysgol lythyrau wedi eu cyfeirio at y goeden, ac mae Igwe yn defnyddio'r rhain fel man dechrau i archwilio protestiadau radical yn dyddio nôl I’r 17fed ganrif.

A London born & based moving image artist and researcher, Onyeka's work asks: how do we live together? Not to provide answers but to pull apart the nuances of mutuality and co-existence in our deeply individualized world.

Artist delwedd symudol ac ymchwilydd wedi ei geni a’i magu yn Llundain, mae ei gwaith yn gofyn; sut ‘dyn ni’n byw gyda’n gilydd? Nid i ddarparu ateb ond i ddatgymalu naws cydymddibyniaeth a chyd-fyw yn ein byd unigolydol.

Join us from 11am-2pm & 3:30-5pm for screenings of all of the Jarman shortlisted films. If you happen to pop in between 11am-1pm we will have popcorn and cuppas ready for Neighbourhood crowd.
