Reclaiming Narratives is more than just a theme—it’s an invitation. An invitation to every member of the Black community to take part in shaping how our stories are told. It’s about ensuring that our voices are heard, our experiences acknowledged, and our contributions celebrated. This theme encourages us to shine a spotlight on the untold stories, the unsung heroes, and the everyday individuals who have made an indelible impact on our communities.
By emphasising “Reclaiming Narratives,” we shine a brighter light on our stories, allegories, and history.
This is your chance to be part of something bigger. Whether you’re an artist, educator, student, activist, or simply someone with a story to tell, Reclaiming Narratives is your opportunity to contribute to a collective effort to reshape how Black history is perceived and taught. By participating, you can help ensure that future generations grow up with a richer, more accurate understanding of Black history.
