The African Leadership Centre (ALC) invites you to our second student-led event of the year commemorating Black History Month at King’s College London.

This event seeks to honour Black artists in the UK by creating a platform for them to showcase their work and engage with King’s students and faculty. We aim to illuminate their distinct challenges and achievements, fostering a deeper understanding of how their personal experiences influence their art and narratives.

Welcome remarks and a keynote address will be followed by a discussion with a panel of Black artists in the UK. 

• Welcome remarks by Professor Eka Ikpe, Director of the African Leadership Centre and Professor in Development Economics in Africa;
• Keynote address by Esther Wadazani Mano, African Scholar in Peace, Security and Development Fellow;
