Where do you find community and history in your life?
Join award-winning journalist Kuba Shand-Baptiste as she draws on her experiences growing up in North-West London as a British-Caribbean person through her story inspired by true events, Soon Come.
Disruptor Mikey uses art and politics to respond to the injustices he sees. Judith conforms, seeking financial security in an ordinary life as a nurse in order to take care of her family back home. Frankie takes life less seriously—he's been judged all his life, but what he lacks in luck, he makes up for in community. Despite their differences, the group's shared tenacity fosters a unique sense of identity, courage, and belonging as they are each drawn back to the restaurant over a number of years.
Centred in a Jamaican restaurant in London, Soon Come explores and celebrates the nuances of the Windrush generation while serving as a love letter to Caribbean food and culture. Kuba's work has been featured in numerous publications, earning widespread acclaim for her nuanced examination of identity, human connection, and social justice.
Heartfelt and deeply moving, don’t miss this evening with Kuba as she will tell the often-erased stories of Black Britain’s past and near-present.
“Combined my favourite things, art and Caribbean food, with beautiful, nuanced characters that I could have spent a lifetime with. When I finished, I wanted more.” Nathan Bryon, screenwriter of Rye Lane
