The Limitless Story of Nellie Mae Rowe

Chewing-gum sculptures, a wealthy gallerist, a firebrand wrestler, a notorious murder case and the segregated south – it’s all part of Nellie Mae Rowe’s boundless universe. This World is Not My Own reimagines this self-taught artist’s world and her life spanning the 20th century. With Uzo Aduba as the animated version of Nellie Mae Rowe.

The evening will include a screening of the film, followed by a panel featuring Petter Ringbom, the director of This World is Not My Own, along with Charlotte creatives.
