muse - connect - reflect - it’s been just over a month since ‘I and I’ by @nubiaassata & @mellozwrld hit Jumbi Peckham’s screens & what a ride it’s been.

For those of you who missed the special presentation of ‘I and I’ a short film by @nubiaassata & @mellozwrld at @jumbipeckham , here are some excerpts below for the opportunity to soak in some of the themes & topics addressed in the second mini zine curated by MakeRoom:
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved film.
My Mum often recalls me watching Titanic on repeat, in tears from the romantic drama biopic.
I was born during the era when analogue began to transition into digital, and the world around me was on the verge of opening up, becoming engulfed by social media.”
- quoted by programme director & founder @ellalbe_
“ ‘I and I’
A term that functions as a linguistic foundation for connection and shared divine essence amongst Rastafarians.
I and I signifies that Jah (God) exists within us all, and by replacing “we” or “us” that emphasise individuality and separation, “I and I” establishes, promotes and preserves unity and equality as the nucleus of Rastafarianism and its Pan-African objectives.”
quoted by Nubia Assata - twice published author & Co-Director of the ‘I and I’ short film 🎞️✨📽️
