Join us for a short films screening in Kunstnerforbundet on Thursday June 25, 17:00-19:00. The screening is followed by a talk featuring Ubuntu Film Club and artist Nadra Hassan.
Short films curated by Ubuntu Film Club:
Khadar Ayderus Ahmed, ‘The Night Thief’ (2017, 16 min)
A Somali man's car starts to disappear mysteriously at night. When he decides to catch the thief, things take an unexpected turn.
Fiona Musanga, ‘Don’t Worry’ (2020, 5 min)
A young Black woman struggles with an alcohol addiction and an enabling lover.
Ima Iduozee, ‘Crown’ (2025, 4 min)
In the heart of Helsinki, Afro hair becomes the thread that weaves together rich traditions and stories of community, heritage, and the art of hair-styling.
After the short films screening, there will be a talk featuring Ubuntu Film Club (based in Helsinki, Finland), represented by Alice Mutoni and Fiona Musanga, in conversation with artist Nadra Hassan.
The screening takes place in the exhibition space, and the talk will be held in English. The event is free and open for all, no pre-registration needed.
This event is part of the June Exhibition 2026: Shifting Coordinates, a month-long institutional takeover transforming Kunstnerforbundet into a discursive platform centering Black Nordic artistic production across visual art, writing, film, and workshops. Shifting Coordinates is curated by the collective Peer Review, a collective platform for cultural analysis across Black visual culture for and by Africans and its diaspora in Oslo, established in 2024.
