Keisha Thompson: Man on the Moon
Step into a world that uses the language of mathematics, logic and science to explore the Black British experience, masculinity and mental health. These themes are pushed through the lens of Keisha’s relationship with her dad. A recluse who has mainly communicated with Keisha through letters, symbols and books.
This will be limited to the first 200 people as headphones are required.
