On today’s episode of Mouth-Off I will be interviewing film programmer and curator YVONNE CONNIKIE. Yvonne’s background is in ethnography, and she is also a PHD candidate at the University of South Wales, exploring Leisure Activities of the Windrush Caribbeans in Butetown Cardiff. She draws on her own life experiences with race, film, and the culture in her work. Yvonne was the founder of the BLACK FILM FESTIVAL WALES and is a founding member and chair of the NEW BLACK FILM COLLECTIVE. She is also the Assistant Curator for Black London Film Heritage.
