Burley Fisher Books of the Year 2025
So says… Onyeka Igwe’s filmmaking frequently works with community archives, delving into documents and objects to stage speculative dialogues. Her first book brings her artistic practice to a wide readership, through her conversations with legendary BAFTA Award-winning film curator and programmer June Givanni. This gorgeous book is a labour of love, the story of an intergenerational friendship, a previously untold account of the impact of global Black film in Britain and of a Black British curator in global cinema, a how-to for keeping and holding a community archive, and a feminist oral history of radical care. One for all creative spirits and community-makers who love a deep sense of time and new ways of seeing.
