This two-hour event, programmed as part of Black History Month, will be split into different segments; live conversation, screening and Q/A.

Facilitator Elliss Eyo-Thompson will be joined by storyteller Kelechi Okafor in a reflective discourse to empower the audience through profound conversation about emergence as a form of empowerment. Leading on from this will be the anticipated screening of Delado: Rising from the Ashes which is the focus of the evening.

This documentary delves into the tension of Liverpool 8 following the Toxteth riots in 1981, when local underdogs emerged as a performance collective under the wing of Ghanaian performance teachers. Join us for a Black History month event with special guests, centring the screening of the Delado documentary, about a performance collective who rose from the ashes of Toxteth riots in 1981.
