FREE Screening - Black London: A Bigger Picture

Black London: A Bigger Picture
Duration: 70 mins

Black History Studies presents a specially curated programme of archive footage representing Black communities in London with films from the 1950s up to the turn of the century. This programme has been compiled by London's Screen Archives as part of the London: A Bigger Picture project. Come and see representations of the Black community from London Boroughs on film.

Following the screening there will be a discussion on how we record and preserve our story on film for future generations. We will also introduce the audience to the project Undocumented which seeks to address the lack of Black stories in screen archives through a public programme that deepens community engagement through practical, discursive and intergenerational activities and sessions.
