About African Caribbean Society

 

University of the Arts London's African Caribbean Society (UAL:ACS) is a community for those who love to experience enriched African and Caribbean culture. We aim to host a number of monthly events, including interactive workshops, industry talks, exhibitions, screenings, and socials. We look forward to presenting a creative space that enables pride in identity, culture, and origin. Members of our society will make connections with creative, like-minded people.

We have an ACS Legacy of opening doors for students at UAL to access as many opportunities in the creative field as possible, as well as creating space for community amongst underrepresented students to grow, providing a safe space for ACS students at UAL.

UAL: ACS aspires to make your university experience that little bit better.
