Boxes

By Shona Bukola Babayemi Tue 3 – Wed 4 Feb 26 60 minutes
One woman clings to a box from her past as the world tilts and sweeps shelter from her feet.

Fleeting friendships, custard creams, UK Garage, posh wine and the power of pounded yam keep her afloat.

Chance encounters and the quiet magic of everyday survival lead to a hair salon where life – and the box – crack open.

“Boxes are usually really disappointing. But no, not this one.”
