I'm raising £5,000 for Tapestry of Black Britons CIC to create a woven artwork exploring the African Caribbean contribution to Britain from Romans onward, echoing the Bayeux Tapestry and Akan woven technique. Imagery incl: portraits, seminal historical moments, protest, joy, African deities and diasporic poetic imagery. It addresses gaps in Black British history awareness with most unaware of over 1,500 years of Black presence. 

This first panel will first be exhibited at the Arnolfini (Bristol) in May, be available to view online and will tour nationally.

By elevating Black British history through an iconic cultural artifact, the Tapestry of Black Britons will create an inclusive historical narrative that builds awareness, pride, and unity within UK society. It will not only bridge historical knowledge gaps but also help foster culturally enriched and connected communities: Black British history is British.
