Discover the hidden narratives of Black history and genealogy with Paul Crooks, a renowned specialist in the field. Join the Black ancestry masterclass to explore the intricacies of tracing African Caribbean roots and uncovering the stories of Black people once enslaved in ex-British colonies.

Learn from Paul’s pioneering research methods that rely solely on public records held in British archives and repositories. Overcome barriers that may hinder family history research and gain insight into the range of approaches used by experienced researchers.

Join us at Valentines Mansion for a fun and energetic workshop exploring rhythms from West Africa led by Kwame Bakoji-Hume from African Activities.

Onisere wants to be a ballet dancer but there’s just one problem: she’s black and she’s never seen any other ballet dancers who look like her. Enter, the ballet queen, Simbira, who takes Onisere, and her annoying, football mad little brother Tayo, on a fantastical journey through the history of black British ballet.


Join us for a fun filled session of dance and storytelling to find out more about the black dancers who blazed a trail through British ballet! For children aged 4-8 years old.

This workshop is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and brought to you by Libraries Connected & Oxygen Arts’ Black British Ballet project. 

This exhibition explores black presences in 19th and early 20th-century, through British studio portraiture. As a curated body of work, these photographs present new knowledge and offer different ways of seeing the black presence in Victorian Britain.

Black Chronicles is a public showcase of Autograph’s commitment to critical enquiry into archive images which have been overlooked, under-researched or not recognised as significant, but are highly relevant to black representational politics and cultural history today.
