Black History Month 2024: The Art of Reclamation

This year’s theme is The Art of Reclamation, curated through our annual exhibition and events programme. As a black community, we explore how we can reclaim and define our histories through our creative practices. We have a diverse history, culture, and identity with deep roots spanning centuries and continents, which deserves to be o defined by us. October has historically been a time when African Communities would gather and consider this a period of reconciliation, and it carries on the Tradition of celebrating British Black History Month since October 1987 as part of the 150th Caribbean Emancipation. 

Join us in celebrating our celebrating our diverse we hope this inspires you to retell your narrative.
