We're very excited to be collaborating on a workshop with Brixton's Black Cultural Archives, the only national heritage institution dedicated to collecting, preserving and celebrating the histories of people of African and Caribbean descent in the UK.
About the workshop:
From the mid-1970s, Brixton has been an important site for LGBTQ+ community spaces and political organising, laying the groundwork for Lambeth today being home to the largest population of LGBTQ+ people in London. While the history of Pearl’s shebeen and the South London Gay Community Centre on Railton Road have become famous, this workshop provides an introduction to stories of Black LGBTQ+ activism taking place in London during the 1970s to 2000s, as represented in Black Cultural Archives' collections.
🌟🌟🌟 Important information about our free events / cancellations! 🌟🌟🌟
For events like this, spaces are limited so we ask that people only reserve a spot if they can definitely make it and cancel their ticket at least 48 hours ahead of time if they can no longer attend. This is so we can make sure as many people as possible can join us. Failing to show up without prior cancellation takes a spot from someone else, and it is important that we are all considerate of people who may be on the waitlist.
For details on how to get there and accessibility info, visit Black Cultural Archives website: blackculturalarchives.org/contact.
If you have any questions please email queerminds@selmind.org.uk.
We hope to see you there!
