In Conversation with Jade Bentil: Cartographies of Desire: Mapping Black Women’s Self-Making in Twentieth-Century Britain

Join us for an evening with Jade Bentil, Black feminist and writer, as she explores the rich and complex histories of Black women who migrated to Britain in the second half of the 20th century.

In her talk, Cartographies of Desire: Mapping Black Women’s Self-Making in Twentieth-Century Britain, Jade will discuss her ongoing oral history project, which examines how these women navigated the intersecting forces of race, gender, sexuality, class and empire – while building lives filled with friendship, romance and joy.

This event promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of memory, identity and belonging, offering new insights into Black British women’s lived experiences.
