MONUMENTS
A Donmar Local project. Watch online from 9 February 2021
As anti-racism movements sweep the globe, young people are pushing for political action, drawing our attention to the racialised power structures embedded within society. Change is on the horizon. The Donmar is located on the edge of Westminster, streets away from the historic heart of the British Empire, where statues are, for many people, a reminder of slavery and colonialism. MONUMENTS is a Donmar Local Project led by Resident Assistant Director Sara Aniqah Malik **which explores how the legacy of the Empire continues to impact our community. Working with Sara, writer **Nessah Muthy, **director of photography **Fẹ́mi Awójídé and movement director Ka**ne Husbands, ** a company of twelve Black, Brown and multiracial young Londoners have produced a bold short film, exploring their own experiences of everyday racism.
