Rituals: Union Black

2026 58 min English

Rituals: Union Black is a moving-image essay archiving the everyday rituals that underscore the rhythms of Black life in the UK. Part ethnographic, part poetic, it celebrates the nuances of the Black British experience. Through worship, weddings, playgrounds, spirituality, birthing, choir, cooking, and movement, Rituals: Union Black pays tribute to the collective resonances of Black life in abundance.
