For Black History Month, Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage curated the exhibition Archiving the Past, Reflecting the Future.

Archiving the Past, Reflecting the Future is a journey through over a century of Black presence in Leicester that is often unrecognised, forgotten or ignored.  The contribution of people from across the African and African Caribbean Diaspora has been integral to the survival of the region, whilst paving the way artistically, athletically and academically.

The exhibition also provides the opportunity to learn about Black history internationally, nationally and regionally through the decades.  The history of the African and African Caribbean Diaspora over the last century provides an opportunity for reflection about the numerous achievements and contributions, as well as the challenges that have been faced and continue today.

The exhibition is free to visit in The Place to Eat on level three at John Lewis Leicester, 1 – 31 October 2024.
