All We Imagine As Light, (2024)

Running time 118 mins

Language - Malayalam

Rating - 15

Prabha is a hardworking nurse whose husband moved abroad shortly after their arranged marriage. Anu, her younger roommate and colleague at the nearby hospital, has a secret relationship with a Muslim man. The widowed Parvati, to whom Prabha lends a sympathetic ear, is being pressured by property developers to leave her home. 

This trio's lives intertwine with soulful grace in Payal Kapadia's wondrous feature, one that portrays the unspoken layers of yearning and isolation of big city life. She is the first Indian filmmaker to win the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, while Sight and Sound crowned All We Imagine as Light the Best Film of 2024. 

Watch the trailer here.

After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The screening aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. We hope to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes. 

The screening will take place at Flourish House. The film will be captioned and some light refreshments will be available. As this is the final anti-racist film club screening of the year, we invite people to bring (vegan) food to share as a pot luck.

Flourish House is a short walk from a First Bus no.4 bus stop and St George’s Cross subway station. There are limited parking spaces directly outside the building along with parking payment meters.

*The Phola Tree Of Life Methodology, developed in South Africa, is a culturally sensitive system which uses drawing and conversation to bring people’s “second story’ to the fore. Instead of focusing on a person’s challenges, the Tree Of Life shines a light on their strengths. It recognises that we all live in community and have skills and customs that give us peace and support.

Musicians Bios:

Ray Aggs is a multi instrumentalist and songwriter based in Glasgow. Aggs, a prolific specialist in euphoric post-punk, has achieved international acclaim with collaborative touring projects Trash Kit, Shopping and Sacred Paws. Creating zines and co-ordinating workshops that encourage women, non-binary people, and people of colour to form bands, Aggs has galvanised the DIY scene in the UK. Ray also led monthly POC trad music sessions at Woodlands Community over the last couple of years and has volunteered with our Anti-Racist Library and wider outreach. 

Suzanne Houston is a Glasgow based multi instrumentalist specialising in Scottish folk music. She is a stalwart of the city's vibrant music scene, and her performing career has taken her across Europe. Her teaching experience includes years of lecturing musicianship at RCS, with a particular love of harmonic theory. Suzanne ran the Woodland Parents and Carers Community Choir at Woodlands Community Garden and has been involved in our Family groups.

Language - French

Rating - PG

In 2021, 26 objects from the Kingdom of Dahomey leave Paris and are returned to present-day Benin. How should these art treasures, stolen from ancestors, be received in a country which has reinvented itself in their absence?

Winner of the Golden Bear at the 2024 Berlinale, Mati Diop’s dynamic film brings a dazzling sense of imagination to vital issues of self-determination and restitution. Amplifying voices from beyond the walls of international museums, this spellbinding work redefines the spaces of culture and art.

Watch the trailer here.

The screening aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning.

Iyengar Yoga For People Of Colour

WHEN

Tuesday 18th November

TIME

6:00-7.15pm

WHERE

Woodlands Community Meeting Room

COST

Free

MORE INFO

Tina Freeland teaches Iyengar Yoga classes at Woodlands for People of Colour. The classes have been generously subsidised by Iyengar Yoga UK. 

The POC Yoga class has been set up to be a supportive space specifically for People of Colour who seek respite from a white dominated society. The teacher reserves the right to refuse entry, for the purpose of maintaining that aim and also for her own safety and that of participants.

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability.

All equipment is provided as part of the class. This event is open to all People of Colour aged 18+

HOW TO BOOK

MORE INFORMATION

Join us in the Community Garden for

·        The chance to get to know people who care about their local environment

·        Opportunities to take part in the seasonal activities of the garden

Our garden volunteer sessions are open to local people who want to help us in keeping the Community Garden as a special place for both people and nature. Volunteering opportunities are suitable for adults rather than children.

·        Please dress appropriately for working outdoors in all weathers, and wear robust footwear suitable for the garden setting.

·        Previous gardening experience isn't required, so you can come along even if you are new to gardening.

·        Gardening gloves and all tools provided.

ACCESS

The community garden was created 15 years ago by volunteers and we acknowledge that it is not the most accessible space. We have begun work to develop an accessibility action plan. Glasgow Access Panel undertook a survey of the site last year and an accessibility steering group has recently formed to support this work. As a small charity with limited means, making the Community Garden more accessible is something that will take time, but we are committed to doing this work.

If you want to get in touch about your own access needs or any accessibility enquiries in relation to the Community Garden contact Elinor by email: elinor@woodlandscommunity.org.uk or telephone: 07586718393
