Communities on Camera

Join us for Community on Camera, a special event from Merton Heritage Service and the London Screen Archives. We will be showcasing archive footage of Black communities in London, followed by a discussion on how to preserve these vital records for future generations. Bring along your own treasured home movies to watch on our video players and small gauge viewers. You can learn more about the importance of safeguarding these films for present and future generations. All footage is valuable, from the mundane moments of day-to-day life, to snapshots of large cultural events. It all contributes to the ever-rolling story of how Black communities have continued to thrive across the capital city. This event will be held at Merton Arts Space, Wimbledon Library. Booking is required but we will also accept walk-ins on the day, subject to the available space.
