Black History Month event
We are delighted to invite you to a special Black History Month event hosted by the Faculty of Arts.
We Were Here: The Untold History of Black Africans in Renaissance Europe is an internationally acclaimed documentary that explores the presence and contributions of Africans in Europe during the Renaissance, challenging familiar narratives about European history and culture.
The event will feature:
- A screening of the documentary
- An introduction from filmmaker Fred Kudjo Kuwornu
- A panel discussion with academic colleagues from the Faculty.
- Audience Q&A
The film draws on art history, archival research and contemporary scholarship to tell stories that have often been omitted from mainstream accounts of Renaissance Europe.
Whether your interests lie in history, literature, languages, culture, media, race and identity, or simply expanding your understanding of the past, this promises to be a thought-provoking and engaging evening.
Date: Wednesday 21st October Time: 5.00pm Venue: Cinema Room, FAB.
