Cornish Connections with Black Voices Cornwall

Join Kresen Kernow and Black Voices Cornwall on Thursday 21 November, 6-9.30pm, for an evening of discussions, free African Caribbean food from the Arch Café and a closer look at our current exhibition ‘Cornish Connections’.

Explore the history of mining and telegraphy in Africa and discover the stories of international students coming to study in Cornwall.

The exhibition sheds light on the experiences of African students who came to Cornwall to study mining and telecommunications. From sports teams to academic achievements, these students left a remarkable legacy that’s only now being fully uncovered.

6.30–7.30pm – tour of the exhibition ‘Cornish Connections’
7.30–8pm – discussion with Black Voices Cornwall
8–8.30pm – free African/Caribbean buffet food from the Arch Cafe

Times are approximate. Please book your free tickets via the Black Voices Cornwall booking page.
