As part of the Undocumented project, The New Black Film Collective and London’s Screen Archives are pleased to present:

Custodians Of The Archives: Shaping Our Future Histories Online

Tuesday 31st March, 1-2pm, a lunchtime chat.

Following on from the sold-out Custodians takeover at BLOC, the 2025-2026 Screen Heritage Ambassadors continue the exploration of archives and community practice during this online lunchtime discussion.

This midday community chat is a chance to watch Monalisa Chukwuma’s “Custodians” -  a photographic and cinematic exploration of Black archival labour, community memory, and care, explore the creation of Dominique Vincent's “The Dreaming Behind An Archive” zine and speak with Ambassadors Naa Adjeley Kwei, Yaya Azariah Clarke and Ariane Barnes about archive as a communal practice. 

This is a relaxed discussion with no Q&A, rather we encourage people to raise their virtual hand, drop comments into the chat as we go along, or of course sit back and enjoy some good conversation.
