Cambridge Black Creatives is a unique arts collective supporting black and brown creative people in Cambridge. They host imaginative workshops for art making and honest discussion on racial issues. Non-artists and allies are always welcome, and we hold a yearly exhibition to celebrate the artwork of our community. This year’s show, DIASPORA explores our experience of migration. The show displays a diverse range of creative talent from oil painting to installation, and textile art to sculpture.

At the opening we will be launching a new collection of poetry “An Outsider Inside – Verse and Rhymes from Post-Truth Times” by Lee Codrington.

Workshop: Sunday 12th 2.22pm: Asim Khairdean will be running his 2-hour workshop DETOURNE DEFACE DECOLONISE a flag-making workshop looking
at the history of the diaspora in decolonial art movements and an opportunity to try out their techniques.
