The annual Black Achievement Month, showcasing the extraordinary talents of people with African roots opens on October 1st with Find Your Eyes. In this unique show, pioneer of hip-hop theatre turned award-winning photographer, Benji Reid mixes Afro-futurist imagery with hard-hitting tales from his life and adventures. The show brings dancers and photography into the fold to create images in real-time in front of the audience.
Benji draws from the well of his life experiences – exploring vulnerability, tragedy and triumph through the photographers’ lens.
Let him take you behind the scenes on an emotional rollercoaster where conflict meets beauty and the stage becomes his studio. Watch as Reid opens up on some of the most moving episodes of his life, and uses them to inspire his art.
