The National Maritime Museum will hold a ‘Caribbean Takeover’ run by the Caribbean Social Forum on 9 April 2022. The event will be an opportunity for visitors to discover the fusion of cultures from Africa, the Caribbean and Britain.
The Caribbean Social Forum (CSF) was started by members of the Windrush Generation who believe communication is key in leading healthier lives and combatting isolation through educational talks, dancing, music and more. For this occasion, CSF have collaborated with incredible artists, historians, and performers to curate a day of events and celebration that will bring the museum to life.
Activities are suitable for all ages will include workshops and performances coordinated by CSF, as well as tours and talks about famous figures from the past, allowing visitors to engage with African and Caribbean history in fascinating and hands-on ways. Additionally, there will be incredible performances as well as musical and dance workshops to enjoy and participate in.
Speakers on the day will include former superintendent in the Metropolitan police and chair and founding member of the Black Police Association, Dr Leroy Logan MBE, and Shaun Wallace, one of the masterminds from ITV’s The Chase who uses his own lived experience to speak on issues of racial diversity to inspire a more inclusive society.
