Archivo Radical: Afro Latin America, Sound & Image Unfiltered

Archivo Radical explores the intersections between orality, imagery, everyday life, and acts of resistance in Latin America as captured in filmic memory. The programme seeks to diversify perspectives on Latin American cinema, highlighting the plurality of stories and experiences that shape the region’s cinematic heritage.

This edition turns to sound. Through the voices, rhythms, and silences of Afro-Latin experiences across Colombia, Cuba, República Dominicana, and Peru, we explore the musical traditions that have carried histories of resistance, joy, and identity across generations, with a particular focus on the deep roots of Afro-Peruvian music.

The evening opens with music set, followed by an introduction, screenings, and a closing live performance. A workshop for music enthusiasts will also be part of the programme. Tickets for the workshop will be available on our website.
