6pm - 7pm
Join Harare-born artist Tanatsei Gambura, Historic Environment Scotland’s Equalities Manager Anila Mirza, and University of Edinburgh’s Dr. Kirsten Carter McKee in a dynamic discussion on the Nzira Yeparuware installation at Edinburgh Castle. This will explore the installation, its wider connections with Managing Imperial Legacies project, and its aims to bring anti-racist conversations to the forefront of reshaping historic narratives.
Annually Learning and Programmes in Museums & Galleries Edinburgh works in partnership with CRER (The Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights) to host Edinburgh based lectures to mark Black History Month.
CRER has co-ordinated a uniquely Scottish Black History Month during October since 2001. This encompasses the history of African, Caribbean and Asian people in this country; people who often have a direct link with Scotland through slavery, colonialism and migration. Black History Month focuses on people whose sacrifices, contributions and achievements against a backdrop of racism, inequality and injustice are often forgotten about.
CRER strive to work with a range of partners from across the community, voluntary and public sectors and has helped to collaboratively create a Black History Month Programme that includes an exciting range of events from talks, concerts, workshops, film screenings, exhibitions and more.
