Sophie + Afùwàpẹ́
CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH? The online release of Sophie is a fact! Last November we had a pre-screening at LantarenVenster, Rotterdam (NL) for the Lions Film Award 2022 and we’ve officially premiered at the 2022 Lagos Book and Art Festival (NG). This April philosopher Renate Schepen and I will present a special program starring Sophie Oluwole through film (in Dutch) at the Night of philosophy 2023 in Amsterdam. And a host of academic events will follow this year.
