Discover how images of identifiable Black people from British history help us to repopulate and reconstruct their personal lives, communities, and associations across three centuries.

Led by independent historian, journalist and author, S. I. Martin, this six-week course will delve into the evolving portrayal of the Black presence in Britain. Join us at the V&A South Kensington and uncover what these images can tell us about how Black people in Britain have navigated and responded to the transitions from enslavement to abolition, independence, and the civil rights movements of the 20th century.
Six-week course running Wednesday 2 October 2024 – Wednesday 6 November 2024.
