大象传媒

Inspired by the teachings of Nelson Mandela these 15 minute lectures by Black and Asian contemporary thinkers, cultural commentators and community activists were recorded in February 2014 at the 大象传媒 in front of an invited audience. There are three lectures in this first set of lectures and they represent the speaker's personal perspectives on local and global issues framed in the context of the Mandela quote 'It always seems impossible until it is done'. In this extract, Akala, MOBO award winning musician and founder of the Hip Hop Shakespeare Company, speaks about imperialism, white supremacy & their global impacts

The lectures will be held annually. The themes covered in the lectures have subsequently featured in local 大象传媒 UK Black and 大象传媒 Desi Download programmes.
