We are tracing how the lives of Black people living in London between the wars were represented in artwork. Join us to explore the lives of artists and models of African and Asian heritage between 1919 and 1939. To help us with our research project, Drawing over the Colour Line, we'd love you to bring any paintings, photos, sculptures, prints or drawings that you have on this theme. We will also have a small photographic studio area where we can take digital photographs of your artwork to include on our image database.

Drop in to the Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre where expert researchers from UCL's Equiano Centre will chat with you about your art works and photographs. Talk to expert archivists and curators from Camden Archives and UCL to discover how to care for your photos, letters and paintings, and find out more about how they fit into our shared history.
