IS DAT U YH?
Part of Healing Together
11 September
Duration: 20 minutes
What to Expect: Make some noise
Free
Award-winning arts platform Initiative.dkf return to GDIF with their piece IS DAT U YH? as part of their Ludala Collection, exploring joy through the commemoration of (British) Blackness.
On a trip down the memory lane of a South East London high street, we honour this marriage, this fusion of our tongues, with the mandem, the galdem and the nonsense in between! IDUY is the joyous ode to waaaaayyy back when; a surreal celebration of our love of food, expressive mannerisms, and Black Brit millennial identities still glistening with diaspora roots.
Sorry, this event has already happened!
