BCA is now on the Bloomberg Connects app

We're pleased to announce that visitors from anywhere in the world can now experience Black Cultural Archives through the Bloomberg Connects app. Bloomberg Connects is a free digital guide to cultural organisations around the world.

As the home of Black British history, we’re delighted to make Black history available in your home, or on the move, via your device. This exciting new technology allows you to virtually tour our home at 1 Windrush Square, discover the secrets of our collections, delve deeper into the stories from the collections, view exclusive exhibitions and more.

The project has been developed over several months by producer and curator, Natalie Fiawoo. Past visitors to BCA may have visited Natalie's last exhibition Family Ties, the story of a Ghanaian family's journey of discovery which led them to uncover a royal history. A new version of the exhibition also features on the Bloomberg Connects App.

“It's always such an honour to work with BCA.” Says Natalie “The stories of people of African Descent are at the centre of all of my work and so being able to make this accessible in such a large way means that these stories will now spread even further.”

“Each of the exhibitions provide a little glimpse into all of the work that BCA is doing as well as the amazing-ness that sits in the (fully accessible) Archive. I hope that people will be inspired to learn more and come and visit, once we are open again of course.”

BCA sits amongst a number of international galleries, museums and archives on the app, meaning that you can explore a range of cultural institutions right in the palm of your hand.

Getting the app couldn’t be simpler. Head to the iTunes or Google Play store and download the Bloomberg Connects app.
