The RIBA is pleased to be partnering with Rooftop Film Club to host a number of outdoor screenings and Q&As at the Bussey Building in Peckham throughout June to coincide with the London Festival of Architecture.
Set in the fictional African nation of Wakanda, the multi award-winning Black Panther follows King T’Challa - played by Chadwick Boseman – as he attempts to protect his people from his arch-enemy Killmonger. The visionary architecture of Wakanda creates a bold afro-futurist landscape, mixing fluid urban forms with natural and vernacular references.
Before the screening, there will be a short Q&A with writer, lecturer, and architectural designer, Shawn Adams.
Shawn Adams has written for Wallpaper*, FRAME, The Architects' Journal, RIBAJ, ICON, Disegno, VICE and OnOffice. He completed his Master's degree in Architecture from Royal College of Art in 2020. He is also a co-founder of POoR Collective, a social enterprise that focuses on the development of communities through the elevation of young people.
This event is part of a collaborative series of screenings with Rooftop Film Club.
