Join us during Black History Month for a range of things to see, both online and at the Horniman, celebrating Black history.

The Horniman is hosting a range of displays and events during October to celebrate Black History Month. Visit the free photographic display, An Ode to Afrosurrealism or take a look at Black British music spaces in Dance Can’t Nice.

Don’t miss the family-friendly storytelling and performances with the Venus Bushfires.
