Document! Black Lives Matter

We are creating a new archive collection to capture the historic activism of 2020.

2020 is the year when everything changes. The murder of George Floyd in America was the final injustice against people of African descent that the public could take. Centuries after the invention of racism it has become entrenched into every layer of Western society. The Black Lives Matter movement rallied protests around the world, including in the UK.

What will the future generations remember of this time? We are building a new archive of this moment.

Covid19 restrictions mean that it will be difficult to collect physical material. We’re asking you to donate your digital photographs, videos, artworks, petitions, articles, poems, and more to create the Black Lives Matter archive at BCA.

Please do not send material that identifies individual protesters or organisers.
