Heritage events at Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage are dedicated to recognising and celebrating Black British cultural heritage in the UK.  These events form part of the programme for Unearthed: Forgotten Histories.  Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project seeks to make a structural difference to the recording, documentation and sharing of Black history and heritage in the UK, and to give back hidden histories for everyone to share.

Included in these activities is Young Archivists, an accredited training programme aimed at young people from diverse communities who are currently under-represented in the heritage sector, to learn from heritage experts.

BlackChat is a year-round programme of talks and round table discussions where everyone is welcome to be part of the conversation.  Typically focusing on a key theme or provocation, it is an opportunity to learn more about key topics, share insight into issues affecting the Black community and celebrate trailblazing artists and activists.

Other heritage events include screenings of documentary films, reminiscence sessions, exhibitions and training opportunities develop skills and support the collection and preservation of oral histories and archival material.

Heritage events are centred around the Living Archive, an online platform, that showcases the history and culture of Black communities in the UK.  It features a collection of photographs, videos, and other materials that highlight the diversity and richness of the Black British experience.
