Black Cultural Archives Black Futures Month: Reclaiming Narratives

The Black Cultural Archives is a centre in Brixton that aims to collect, preserve and celebrate the histories of people of African and Caribbean descent in the UK. They celebrate Black history all year round but during October have a series of events including partnering with Black-owned creative agency Dark Matter to host an exclusive preview of the award-winning Dahomey at the Ritzy ahead of its UK release on October 25. Directed by Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop, the documentary Dahomey focuses on on the first major return of looted treasures from Europe to Africa. You can also head down to the centre to check out the exhibition ‘Race Today: Black History is British History’ which explores the legacy of the Race Today journals which is running all month.
