Black History Through The Arts

About Us

Celebrating Black History Through the Arts

 We believe that Black History is more than a month—it’s a legacy of resilience, creativity, and culture that should be celebrated, honoured, and experienced.

Our qualified and experienced teachers deliver immersive, arts-based workshops to schools, organisations, and communities, using the power of African and African diasporic art forms to teach, inspire, and connect. Our workshops are designed to bring Black history to life through the vibrant mediums of African dance, drumming, storytelling, textile art, and jewellery making.

Each session is led by skilled facilitators with lived cultural experience and a passion for education, making our programs both meaningful and memorable.
