As anti-racism movements sweep the globe, young people are pushing for political action, drawing our attention to the racialised power structures embedded within society. Change is on the horizon.
​
The Donmar is located on the edge of Westminster, streets away from the historic heart of the British Empire, where statues are a reminder of slavery and colonialism. MONUMENTS is a Donmar Local Project led by Sara Aniqah Malik which explores how the legacy of the Empire continues to impact our community.

​
"The legacy of racism and Empire is sticky, a palpable feeling, and as the clay dries and crusts over on skin, director Sara Aniqah Malik and movement director Kane Husbands physicalise the accumulating, inherited weight of this history."
​
"a energetically persuasive film, wasting no second of its short running time in getting its message across." - Ben Kulvichit, The Stage
