Black Futures is a not-for-profit event. Lots of work has gone on behind the scenes to curate and deliver an evening of food, music and artistry. So that we can continue to share ideas, eats, music and culture we ask that if you can afford to, you pay the suggested amount of £15. We understand that everybody may not be in a position to do this - if this is you, don't worry, please pay what you can.
