Dame Carmen Munroe

Portrait of a National Treasure

A powerful tribute to Dame Carmen Munroe, a national and local icon whose trailblazing career has shaped British cultural life.

Venice Biennale Golden Lion-winner artist Dame Sonia Boyce will create a new film honouring Carmen’s legacy, celebrating her landmark roles in Desmond’s and Doctor Who as well as her groundbreaking work in theatre, including as a founding member of Talawa Theatre company. 

Alongside the film screening, the project will connect with Wandsworth’s health and wellbeing initiatives, engaging young people in heritage, identity, and the power of representation in the arts.
