樱桃视频 is celebrating Black History Month with a range of events, talks and exhibitions across campus.

At the centre of this is 60 Untold Stories of Black Britain 鈥� a photographic exhibition celebrating the lives of the 鈥渇irst black middle class鈥�. The free show which runs at the Professor Stuart Hall building until 30 October has been hailed by The Londonist as a 鈥渓ong-awaited and highly deserved Hall of Fame for the 60-75 year-old professionals involved鈥�.

The month also sees a new chapter for the Centre for Caribbean Studies 鈥� which is relaunching as the Centre for Caribbean and Diaspora Studies.

Established some 33 years ago, the relaunch will see the Centre continue to develop 鈥� through the work of a range of contemporary practitioners including writers, performers, oral historians and technologists 鈥� the representation and promotion of Caribbean cultural knowledge and heritage in the UK and across the globe.

Professor Joan Anim-Addo, director of the Centre for 15 years, said:

鈥淭he need for an academic home within our university system is still keenly felt by black students... We are happy to open up our hard-won and always nomadic home.鈥�

As well as a time for change Black History Month represents new beginnings at Goldsmiths 鈥� with this year marking the launch of the ground-breaking MA in Black British Writing. Co-convened by Dr Deirdre Osborne and Professor Joan Anim-Addo and based in the Department of Theatre and Performance, in association with ECL, the postgraduate degree is a world first- nowhere else in the world can you study this field in such a richly, referenced way - in the country where the writing is produced.

As is fitting for a history month, Special Collections & Archives is also hosting the exhibition  an exhibition and launch of the publication Human Endeavour: a creative finding aid for the Women of Colour Index.

And alongside College events the Students鈥� Union has a packed schedule to mark BHM, ranging from a talk on hip-hop and Shakespeare to gigs and library tours. 

On 23 October the  and the Department of Theatre and Performance are joining together to present , a literary evening featuring Laura Fish, Dorothea Smartt and Kadija Sesay.
