The importance of learning from the ways we have resisted oppressive systems to guide us towards emancipatory futures cannot be understated. BSWN’s Decolonial Working Group has taken on the task of locating a new centre to amplify that which has been silenced, and to reassert the political and cultural agency of colonised people.

Over the last 10 years, BSWN have been working with Black artists, cultural producers, archivists, and activists in exploring notions of identity, belonging, history and heritage for Black and Minoritised communities across the South West of England.
