This event is part of Bridging Histories, a city-wide project established in the wake of the Colston statue being toppled to allow people to engage with their heritage, gain confidence and make positive changes for the future.

Taking place across the Bristol Beacon Foyer, the event has been organised by community activist Adriene Layne with a day full of entertainment from traditional Jamaican food, children’s activities and live music from Black Wallstreet Records.

This event is part of Bridging Histories and supported by The Alton Ellis Award, Black Wallstreet Records, Bristol Beacon, University of Bristol and YelloButterfly communications.
