Where are the White Voices? highlights the absurdities and dehumanisation inherent  in contemporary discussions on race and representation by flipping the gaze, presenting a 'diversity panel' in a world where it is white people who are the historically marginalised. In a panel consisting of academics, writers, and activists, the discussion turns to, amongst other things, cancel culture, 'melanin' fragility, and the sell out.  

 

This film was first written as a play, and staged as part of the Literature Must Fall festival in 2019 at the Birmingham Impact Hub. It was rewritten as an online zoom panel discussion during the pandemic.
