Over the last year, iniva has been focusing on cataloguing its moving image collection. We are delighted to open the archive and share what we have found from experimental artist films and live performance documentation to recordings of talks, screenings, and public events that have shaped the organisation’s history.
Come and sit with us as archivist Kaitlene Koranteng guides you through a selection of materials drawn from decades of iniva’s programme and documentation of artists’ work. Featured material includes work by and conversations with artists such as Harold Offeh and Alia Syed and many more! Together these works offer an intimate glimpse into the breadth and depth of diasporic visual culture preserved within the collection.
Sessions run for approximately 45 minutes and take place at 12pm and 1pm on Saturday 27 June 2026. Both are free and open to all. Come along, take a seat at the table, and discover moving image as a living archive.
This event is part of the Visualising Contemporary Art Histories project, supported by the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding funds from the National Lottery.
