Malik Al Nasir delivers seminar & recital - University of Cambridge.



Artists as Activists Seminar - University of Cambridge Nov 2017





Malik Al Nasir delivers a seminar at The University of Cambridge, as part of Cambridge Jazz Festival.



"British Guyanese poet and spoken word artist ‘Malik Al Nasir’ (Malik & The O.G’s) discusses how colonialism and slavery destroys identity and disrupts the historical transition of cultural self-awareness for the black Diaspora. Malik describes his incredible lifelong journey and how he took back his Afro-South American cultural identity, in a post-colonial world and how he is reasserting his cultural roots through arts and activism."
