Pay-what-you-can-event
Join Malvin Wright, Curator of Yaya’s Kitchen, and Zahra McDoom, TD Curator of Collections at Museum London, for a thoughtful conversation about Black Lives Lived Here: London Family Photos 1910s–1960s and the rich food heritage of London’s Black community.
Together, they will explore how family gatherings, celebrations, and home-cooked meals reflect pre-colonial and Afro-diasporic traditions, and how food has served as both a form of resistance and a source of nurturance. The discussion will offer insights into the culinary journey of early Black Londoners and highlight how Yaya’s Kitchen is reimagining and remixing these traditions through their cooking today.
Presented in partnership with Huron Community History Centre at Huron University College, all History Now! lectures are free to students and educators. Registration is required for all.
