Migrant Women Seen and Heard


  • Bean Bag Cinema Exchange Place, Belfast (map)

These three short films were co-created with migrant women in Northern Ireland. The stories highlighted are: the lack of English interpreters for migrant women with little English, women of colour working in the creative industries, and the repatriation of colonial artefacts to Africa from museums on the island of Ireland.

The film-makers are: Marisa Comeau-Kerege (USA) and Abeer Musawaei (Yemen) - English translators;

Jessi Lovely, (Dominican Republic/Northern Ireland) - women of colour in the creative industries;

Nandi Jola (South Africa) - repatriation of colonial artefacts. 

Marisa Comeau-Kerege is the producer of the 'Migrant Women Seen & Heard' series. It is part of a new 'Community TV' channel being developed by Una Murphy, co-founder of Belfast based VIEWdigital: independent community media, with support from Future Screens NI.
