Who We Are

OUR HISTORY, OUR HERITAGE is an innovative Bristol based creative educational social enterprise inspired by prominent African, Caribbean and British elders and their contribution to local and global struggles against injustices and to the common humanity of us all. Most prominently, modest, but large in his support and contribution is Richard Hart. His involvement in decolonisation movements and the birthing of an independent Jamaica, his activism in the Caribbean region and his documentation of these struggles for all our prosperity is formidable. We have a new workshop to pilot based on his life and work. See the Struggle Goes On WORKSHOPS. But he is not alone, we have many examples of elders like Paul Stephenson whose activism has been tireless in the pursuit and defence of civil rights in Bristol and UK.
On the steering group we are: educationalists, historians, elders and artists.
