Family Workshop
27th July 2024
Black Cultural Archives
Black Cultural Archives, in collaboration with Royal Holloway, University of London, invite you to a unique family workshop focused on personal archives and memory collection. This engaging event promises to be both educational and enriching. Attendees will also enjoy a complimentary light lunch.
Morning Session 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM: in this session, you will be asked to bring archives to life using personal memorabilia and group discussion. You'll engage in constructing a life narrative using five objects that represent your culture and heritage, personal interests, family history, or beliefs.
Afternoon Session 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM: in this session, you will listen to a variety of musical genres, and be invited to respond through creative writing. Think about how music makes you feel and how that has changed throughout your life.
Space is limited. Whilst this event is free, we welcome a suggested minimum donation of £5. All proceeds go to Black Cultural Archives allowing us to further our impact in the communities we serve.
