Trapped in Zone One – Black History Month (Proud to be)

October 11, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

What defines Tower Hamlets as a diverse borough?

For Black History Month this year the theme is ‘Proud to be’, and we’re creating a new community mural in Shadwell by finding our what makes Tower Hamlets proud to be diverse borough.

This campaign aims to make Black History Month 2021 personal and unique to individuals, families and communities, focusing on how we’re all making history all the time in our own ways, as well as the contributions and achievements of Black people throughout history.

Catherine Ross, Editor at Black History Month UK, explained why they launched the campaign: “It’s been a challenging time for many Black and Brown people, with so much in the media about racism, inequality and injustice. We wanted the theme of Black History Month 2021 to focus on celebrating being Black or Brown, and to inspire and share the pride people have in their heritage and culture – in their own way, in their own words.

“By asking people to share what they are Proud To Be we can share both individual stories and the vast richness of diversity that Black and Brown people bring to the UK.

“Black Lives Matter means people being able to live life to the fullest without having to compromise who they are. Everyone deserves the right to be Proud To Be everything they are and want to be in life.”

The Proud To Be campaign also focuses on encouraging young people to share what they are Proud To Be.

We holding a FREE creative workshop on 11 October 2021 from 18:00-20:00 at Tarling East Community Centre, 63 Martha Street, E1 2PA.

Register to join us and help us create a design which then will be painted at Dellow Street Games Area, Shadwell, E1 0BW
