Film Screening: Daughters (2024)
Directed by Natalie Rae, Daughters (2024) follows four young girls as they prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, part of a unique fatherhood programme inside a Washington, DC jail. The film explores themes of family, resilience, and connection under challenging circumstances.
Daughters was selected by artist Amber Akaunu, who was drawn to its powerful exploration of themes that resonate deeply and mirror those central to her own work.
Akaunu is currently exhibiting at Bluecoat as part of the Liverpool Biennial with her incredibly touching” and “powerful” film, Dear Othermother.
Inspired by the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child,” Dear Othermother offers a deeply personal reflection on single motherhood in Toxteth, an area of Liverpool where one in six households are headed by a single parent.
