Wednesday 26th June, 7 – 9pm: Dopereaders Book Club: Small Worlds + Screening of Pray with Caleb Azumah Nelson

Join us for a vibrant book club evening hosted by Dopereaders, to discuss author Caleb Azumah Nelson latest title, Small Worlds. The exciting novel by the #1 best-selling, award-winning author of Open Water is set in Ghana and London, exploring the relationship between fathers and sons and the search for meaning through music and dance. 

The evening will also screen Caleb Azumah Nelson’s debut short film Pray. Traversing themes of grief, hope, first love, and home, Pray is a portrait of brotherhood that explores the lengths we go for the people we love, how we find joy amidst overwhelming despair, and how community can lift us up. The film was an official selection at the Locarno Film Festival 2023.
