During Antwerp Art Weekend, The Constant Now showcases the work of four intriguing artists from different parts of the world, all working with film. Each day features a new film, ranging from artist films to documentaries, screened continuously and accompanied by live conversations with the makers.  Ndayé Kouagou, Rosine Mbakam, Kevin Osepa, and Brahim Tall, each with their unique approach, push the boundaries of film by representing and centering people of color (POC), reclaiming visual and narrative sovereignty. This event is not just about the films, but also about the conversations and the collective reflection they inspire, especially within institutional frameworks that (cl)aim to be inclusive.  The Constant Cinema is commissioned by Antwerp Art Weekend, curated and moderated by Magali Elali, founder of The Constant Now.
