Research And Engagement Lead, Communities Of LiberationTower Hamlets Local History Library And Archives Sep 2023 - PresentI have started a new Part Time role to run alongside my current post as co-Director of the TURNING POINT project with Sweet Patootee Arts:I'm honoured to be the Research and Engagement Lead, Communities of Liberation. Based at Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives, this role is about uncovering narratives illustrating African presence in the East End of London and sharing the evidence gathered with the wider public.Communities of Liberation is an historical research and public art project which aims to increase awareness of the long history of the African presence in the borough of Tower Hamlets, by focusing specifically on excavating and sharing stories of individuals who lived here in the 17th and 18th centuries. The aim of the project is to identify places, spaces, and networks in which African people lived, worked or socialised during the period of operation of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.Rather than focus on exceptional individuals - eg those who published their life stories or were abolition activists - the project will locate names, stories, and experiences of everyday life of working Londoners, and map them to specific locations in present day Tower Hamlets. We are especially interested in the buildings and spaces - homes, taverns, places of worship - where 'working class' African people would gather, meet, and coalesce as a community.
