Reclaiming Nature: We Are Nature Screening + Discussion Panel

Reclaiming Nature is at Kelvin Hall Lecture Theatre on Sunday 25 October, from 5pm to 7pm. It's a screening and discussion evening put on by the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER) as part of Black History Month Scotland 2026, pairing a short film with a conversation on environmental justice and racial equality.

The night opens with We Are Nature, a short documentary directed by Amanda Daud. It's described as a moving portrait of belonging and resilience, following Connor and Anesu as they immerse themselves in Scotland's landscapes and explore the intersections of space, power, race and the outdoors. After the screening, Phoenix Archer reads poetry, and then the discussion panel kicks in.

That panel brings together the filmmaker Amanda Daud, Tariqua Telahun Gorrissen, founder of Tariqua Rooted, and Lucien Staddon Foster from CRER. The conversation asks what practical actions audiences can take to address environmental justice and racial equality, with contributions from Staddon Foster, a researcher and anti-racism campaigner whose work exposes systemic racism through data, and Tariqua Rooted, a grassroots practice grounded in healing, reproductive wisdom and relationship with the living Earth.

Amanda Daud is a documentary filmmaker, visual anthropologist and outdoor enthusiast; her first film, Sonder, was made at the University of Cambridge, and she completed an MA in Visual Anthropology at the University of Manchester. The whole thing runs from 5pm to 7pm at the Kelvin Hall Lecture Theatre, 1445 Argyle Street, Glasgow G3 8AW, and entry is free.
