In February 2021, interdisciplinary artist and poet Julianknxx visited his birthplace – Freetown, Sierra Leone – for the first time since he fled with his family from the civil war at nine years old.
It was this homecoming journey that crystallised the conception of his film: In Praise of Still Boys. In Praise Of Still Boys is a re-examination of the artist’s childhood, told through the lives of young Sierra Leonean boys who live by the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The film is an exploration of belonging, loss, and inheritance. By critically engaging with language and history, Julianknxx enacts a process of reconciliation and healing for both himself and a collective experience.
The accompanying 12" vinyl features compositions from the film and additional, original music from Julianknxx and a stellar cast of close collaborators including Melo-Zed, Aron Kyne, Thabo and anaiis.
Limited to 500 copies worldwide, In Praise of Still Boys is pressed on ultra blue 180g 12" vinyl, designed by Zak Group, and commissioned by 180 Studios.
