What’s On
Over six weeks, pupils of Brooklands Farm Primary School have been meeting and working with artists of African heritage: learning about African culture through contemporary practice. This event, curated by the young people, will bring together artist-led activities, displays, food and music celebrating African heritage and the coming together of all communities in Milton Keynes. Around it, a Festive Fair will take place in the Arts Centre’s courtyard, with a range of craft and food stalls.
A Celebration of African Art & Culture has been organised by the African Diaspora Foundation in association with Milton Keynes Arts Centre and has been coordinated by the artist, Shepherd Manyika. It is part of a project designed to improve understanding of African heritage in schools, which is supported by The Radcliffe Trust.
