DIASPORIC DIALOGUES

BlackFest usual Diversity Dialogues rebranded in 2022 to shift the focus back on the community. Hosted by Ray Quarles,  L8 activist Jimi Jagne covered topics explored in his recent articles.

The academic articles will be printed as a booklet for Black led arts organisation Serendipity and in partnership with Professor Stephen Small from California, Berkeley for BHM 2022. We will launch the articles or direct people to where they can find them at Serendipity during the event lead in for Jimi Jagne’s research to be celebrated during the month and the history of the area known to other areas and some who would like to hear about them.
