Booking essential via Eventbrit > https:// More information on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1235252889848047/ Organised by BTWSC/African Histories Revisited The UN Resolution 68/237 declared 2014-2025 as the International Decade For People Of African Descent (IDPAD) under the theme Recognition, Justice and Development. But how aware are we in Ghana of this initiative by the UN? And how can we use it for our upliftment and development? The resolution calls on member states, civil society and all other relevant actors to join together with people of African heritage and take effective measures for the implementation of the programme of activities. The Decade is an opportunity to push for the elimination of racism, racial and structural discrimination against Africans. History consultant, community activist and former University of Westminster lecturer Kwaku is visiting Accra and will deliver a presentation on how to use IDPAD to empower ourselves, followed by a Question & Answer session.

Using the format of a play with 5 actors set within the course of a management committee meeting of an African-led voluntary organisation, we witness the dynamics of the meeting change from congratulatory back-patting on account of a successful fundraising exercise, to putting plans for a Black History Month (BHM) event on hold, as tensions rise around the issues of identity within the African British community, where there is often a disconnect from Africa, especially by those born in Britain or the Caribbean. The play also questions what BHM should be about and whether it should be renamed, 30 years on from its introduction in the UK, the Race Relations Act @ 50, and the start the UN's International Decade For People Of African Descent 2015-24 initiative. The afternoon performance is targeted as an outing for youths, school children, teachers and parents, whilst the evening performance is targeted at the wider community. A facilitated Q&A follows each performance, which provides the audience with an opportunity to engage with the issues raised in the play Admission: Free To register, please visit www.AfricanHistoryPlus.eventbrite.com A recent permanent display at Brent Museum is a bust of Jamaican-born pan-Africanist icon Marcus Garvey.

Nearly 8,000 miles separate Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and Kingston, Jamaica, but a link between them was forged by a number of Jamaicans who believe His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie's (Ras Tafari's) coronation was the fulfillment of a prophecy and that he was their redeemer, the messiah written of in the Bible’s Book of Revelation: “King of Kings, Lord of lords”. They believed he would arrange for a deliverance, which, as they saw it, involved a miraculous transformation. They would move from their lives in the Caribbean and relocate to Africa, the land of their ancestors and their spiritual epicentre." Rastafari travel together with World Weavers present U Day, a spiritual music festival. This festival is aimed to celebrate unity and tolerance among religions and spiritual movements in the world. It is a traveling event and Ethiopia is selected to host the 2018 edition because of its unique standing in the world regarding religious tolerance. People from different faiths will participate in this event: Buddhist monks from Thailand, a Jewish Rabbi, Islamic clerics, and even native indigenous people from America and Australia will be present. Together with a group of Rastafarians from Shashamane they will travel to the holy city of Lalibela where an interfaith celebration will be held. Then the program continues to Addis Ababa where an international conference will be organized at the headquarters of the African Union on the morning of the 3rd of February, followed by a music festival in the evening. Some international names are confirmed like Pato Banton & The Now Generation, and King Shiloh Sound System from Amsterdam. Fundraising event , an opportunity to explore the themes of the UN International Decade for People of African Descent, Recognition, Justice, Development through the documentary film Shashamane and support two worthy organisations: The Maa Maat Centre and IDPAD Coalition UK. The film gives a poignant insight into this unique community through interviews with its members. The themes of the UN Decade resonate through their life-stories. "The Rastafari movement represents a signal transformation in the psyche and vision of 'new-world' Africans. Redemption is its core value: re-creation of African morality, pride and lifestyle in a world of gross materialism (Babylon). Shashamane land in south-eastern Ethiopia is an iconic outpost of Rastafari from the Diaspora. The community comprises returnees from the Caribbean, the Americas and Europe, who have trekked to the 'Promised Land', asserting their sovereign right to repatriate to the Mother Africa. Their struggles, triumphs, hopes and aspirations speak volumes for the search and recovery of African nationhood." Tickets & info: www.eventbrite.co.uk A day of films,dance workshops, lectures and discussions exploring the origins and legacy of dancehall culture One Love Books presents "Covers: Retracing Reggae Record Sleeves in London" by Alex Bartsch Covers is a project by Alex Bartsch documenting reggae record covers that were photographed in London between 1967 and 1988. After years of research, and working in collaboration with Al ‘Fingers’ Newman, Bartsch has identified and photographed 50 London-based reggae sleeves in their original locations, holding them up at arm’s-length to blend in with their surroundings, decades later. Presented in this way, the covers document the passing of time and provide a fascinating insight into the history of reggae music in the UK, an often overlooked but immensely important part of Britain’s musical identity and popular culture. To give further context to the photographs, excerpts from interviews with those involved in the making of the records – be it the original singer, producer, photographer, designer or record label employee – are included as part of the display.
