a love letter for the remaining softness left in brown boys, for when the rest is taken from them is a homage to brown boy joy by Nasima Bee, presented as a new short film and exhibition drawn from the writer’s personal archive. The film is a sequence documenting the existence of brown boys and men in light and love. At a time when brown men and boys are often portrayed in harmful ways, this visual work seeks to conceptualise and celebrate the tender, wholesome and joyous narrative the writer has experienced and knows to be true.
