because there can't be too many spaces to celebrate, interrogate and archive the incredibly rich and diverse art practice of the african diaspora in britain. in 2015 i started the instagram page as a curatorial exercise to research and amplify and bridge the scattered source of info and practice that I'd encountered online...it's only just begun and i look forward to building this with your help!
