Abantu-同人, 2022
4min Bournemouth, UK
Stranded in an alien environment, a community struggles and perseveres to mend itself and heal. The voices featured are myself and Pat in conversation about the words we use to mean "our people", referring to ethnic and cultural groups that form the "tribe". We come to the conclusion that "same people" in our situations often means gathering of likeminded people who challenge as well as welcome you.
