Watch: Spotlight – a film about Black Irish creatives including Tolü Makay, Jafaris, JyellowL, Aby Coulibaly, Offica, Felispeaks
SPOTLIGHT: Éire to the World is a new film that is being premiered tonight that will feature Black Irish creatives and artists in the fields of music, spoken word, acting, podcasts and fashion.
The film features appearances from Hare Squead, Tolü Makay, JyellowL, Aby Coulibaly, Offica, Felispeaks, UNQ, Jafaris, WYHA? Podcast and Adaeze and is being presented and produced by Zeda the Architect, Jafaris, Irish Black Owned, RES Concepts, Diffusion Lab, Bodytonic, Jam Park, No Trackies No Runners, Lost Studios and commissioned by the Project Arts Centre and supported by Dublin City Council.
Spotlight originally came about when Jafaris and Zeda the Architect wanted to do something to end 2020 with a bang and a purpose. A lot has happened this year and we wanted to do something to memorialise it, to find a way to give back to those in need and also to find a way to celebrate and showcase the many, many talents that we feel do not get their fair share of the spotlight here in Ireland.
The film is now available to watch and is in support of charities MASI & Feed Our Homeless.
