110, Ian Kamau on the film We Went Out

Listen to artist Ian Kamau speaking about the recently released film "We Went Out." The film has been described this way: "We Went Out is a short film about the world racialized youth create for themselves when the world tells them there is limited space. Moreso, it appears to be about the lifelong relationships built out of need and love within self-formed communities that ultimately live as memories." View the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEsdPt7wpk0 Ian describes the film this way: "We Went Out is an expressive documentary that celebrates the in-between spaces in the lives of four friends who met as teenagers in Toronto. Directed by Ian Kamau the short film is a narrative mapping project, made with people who were teens in the downtown Toronto hip hop community in the 90’s. The film explores the meaning of a venue as arts venues close during a global pandemic and reinterprets what a significant venue is." Music on this edition is by Ian Kamau.
