BCA’s Youth Programme present ‘On Love’ - an evening of workshops, reflection and an opportunity to make meaningful connections.

For the past five months, our Youth Programme has been actively exploring and researching the rich history and experiences of Britain’s LGBTQ+ community. Confronted with the question of why they fought, wrote and protested for queer rights, many of the activists the group interviewed gave the same answer: love.

As part of the evening, attendees are invited to reflect on what the term means to them. Take part in writing love letters to explore how we care for and nurture ourselves, as well as how we celebrate self-love and its place in queer history. Or, form a vision board by collaging with copies of BCA’s archival material connected to Britain’s LGBTQ+ community, and think through your own relationship to romance, friendship and activism.

After booking your ticket, you'll receive a form to sign up for a fun and casual speed-dating event happening during the night. Engage in lighthearted prompts, and enjoyable conversations, and connect with other young people living in London. Please note: participation in speed dating is open to individuals aged 18-30.

Whilst this event is free, a suggested minimum donation of £3 is greatly appreciated.

This event is a collaboration between Black Cultural Archives and Lambeth Links.
