Ubuntu: a Zulu word translated as humanity that has become a global philosophical principle: “I am because we are.”

Eight unique films from different global contexts will be screened as part of the series. The two-week film series (Monday-Thursday) includes a daily film screening followed by discussions with local and African experts who will explore global evocations of the concept of Ubuntu. The closing in-person screening and panel discussion is on April 3 at TBD.

All events are free and open to the public. Online registration is required to access the zoom events. Registration links below.

The film series is co-sponsored by the MSU Library, the African Studies Center, the Global Studies in the Arts and Humanities Program, Film Studies, and the Institute for Ubuntu Thought and Practice. For more information contact Erik Ponder, the African Studies librarian: ponderer@msu.edu
