✨ Closing a fantastic evening of film, on Sunday we had the panel after COTTON QUEEN, where the guests discussed the many connections between the systemic oppressions in the world and how they manifest very concretely with the cotton industry, even in Malmö and in tangible ways in today’s people’s lives.

The panel emphasized the role of women, as both bearing heavy roles in the supply chain inherited from a former system of slavery; but also as agents of change, carrying traditions, storytelling and resistance to the next generation.

Thank you to our guest panel for an insightful conversation:
Moderating: Josefine Båge and Kiara Walker
Panel: Nora Dexborg, Malcolm Jallow and Pål Brunnström.

A collaboration with Ubuntu Malmö filmfestival / Afrosvenskarnas Forum för Rättvisa och Antirasistiska filmdagar i Malmö.
