At the heart of the exhibition were live beats and sound performances by Mykah, a featured artist whose set brought rhythm, soul, and contemporary dynamism to the space . The interplay of traditional motifs and modern expressions invited attendees into a lively dialogue between past and present, art and identity.

Held under the banner of “Black History 365” an ethos popularized by cultural programmes that extend Black History Month into a year-long celebration, the exhibition aligned with the broader movement toward reframing and reclaiming cultural narratives across London communities

For Our Heritage UK, “Black 365 Exhibition” served as more than an art show, it was a cultural statement, reinforcing the importance of celebrating Black heritage every day. Through curated art pieces, creative storytelling, and live performances, the exhibition embodied the organisation’s mission to preserve and enliven African and Caribbean cultural traditions in the UK.

The event not only captivated its audience but also underscored the invaluable role of community-led initiatives in amplifying stories that shape identity, memory, and shared futures.
