Inner Visions: Inspiring Diverse Emerging Talent Spotlight

This year Africa in Motion presents a new addition to our event series, Inner Visions, drawing reference to the great Stevie Wonder’s renowned album, we are bringing to the fore the inner visions of young people around the UK who are looking to get involved in the creative sector, this event series has particular focus on music and film and the ways in which they complement one another. 

This Inner Visions event series was conceived and curated by Josh Kilimanjaro, Programme Coordinator for Africa in Motion by day and music producer and DJ by night.
