Special Event

Black history, resistance & the war on memory

1 August 2025
1-4pm
Free to all

Join us for a powerful and historic moment as we mark 30 years of African Remembrance Day with a landmark event.

African Remembrance Day is more than a memorial – it’s a living commitment to truth, resistance and repair. Since 1995, it's united communities, challenged narratives and amplified the call for recognition, memorialisation and restitution.

This milestone year is a moment to reflect, remember and recommit to seeking justice for the victims of enslavement and their descendants.

This special gathering will be led by leading voices: historian Professor Hakim Adi, human rights advocate Jacqueline McKenzie, and lawyer Dele Ogun. Together, they'll reflect on the legacy of resistance, remembrance and the ongoing struggle against erasure.

There's also chance to join in a solemn and moving moment: the signature three-minute silence at 3pm, to honour enslaved victims across the Americas, Asia and Africa.

This listing is supplied by one of our museum partners and is not moderated by Art Fund.
