MSU Libraries in partnership with the Global Studies in the Arts and Humanities Program presents the Ubuntu International Film Series. Ubuntu: a Zulu word translated as humanity that has become a global philosophical principle: “I am because we are.” The two-week film series (Monday-Thursday) includes eight unique films from different global contexts. The film screenings will be followed by discussions with local and African experts who will explore global evocations of the concept of Ubuntu. The closing in-person screening and panel discussion is on April 3 at TBD. All events are free and open to the public. Online registration is required to access the zoom events. The film series is co-sponsored by the MSU Library, the African Studies Center, the Global Studies in the Arts and Humanities Program and the Institute for Ubuntu Thought and Practice.
