Women of Colour in the Archives

Free – book in advance

Women of colour have long been overlooked or marginalised in local archives. Dig Where You Stand seeks to change this. Through its creative development programme, it brings women of colour together, grants access to archives after hours, and helps to creatively explore untold and overlooked stories.

Join Dig Where You Stand's latest community gathering to learn more about this exciting work. Its panel of presenters and performers – all women of colour – will share their experience of exploring local archives, the stories they discovered, and creative responses they produced. This will be followed by a Q&A with the audience.
