POLY STYRENE: I AM A CLICHÉ (96 mins) 12+  

Film start time – 6.15pm  

Film finish time – 7:51pm  

Woman UP chat until 9pm 

Poly Styrene was the first woman of colour in the UK to front a successful rock band. She introduced the world to a new sound of rebellion, using her unconventional voice to sing about identity, consumerism, postmodernism, and everything she saw unfolding in late 1970s Britain, with a rare prescience. As the front-woman of X-Ray Spex, the Anglo-Somali punk musician was also a key inspiration for the riot grrrl and Afropunk movements.  

After the film, we invite you to stick around for a chat about the themes of the film and to learn more about how you can get involved in Woman UP or Young Woman UP.
