Archiving Black Tower Hamlets

African and African Caribbean community organisations have shaped life in Tower Hamlets for generations, yet many of their stories remain underrepresented in archives. Join community members, researchers and heritage practitioners to explore how these histories can be recorded, preserved and shared, and what institutions must do to ensure Black heritage is not overlooked.

Guests include Harry Cumberbatch, Celeste Vassal, and Peaches Cadogan.

Programmed by Numbi Arts CIC x Somali Museum UK.
