LAMBB: Future First - Short Film

  • Benjamin Opoku
  • Naomi Grant
  • Azeez Bello

This short film is an artistic interpretation of a black girls response to cornrows being renamed as ‘boxer braids’. The anchor point of the film is cultural appropriation but it expands much wider than that - it isn’t about taking a stance as a victim, it is about reclaiming our place and not being afraid to take up space.
