Trace the century-long cultural impact of the Harlem Renaissance across the Black diaspora in a panel discussion made up of writers, musicians and historians. Acclaimed jazz talent development organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors hosts a panel including Bonnie Greer, Margaret Busby, Soweto Kinch and Kevin Le Gendre to discuss the origins of the Harlem Renaissance, exploring how the Black creative revolution in 1920s New York transformed the world, both then and now. The Harlem Renaissance saw an explosion of literature, music, visual art, and intellectual thought that defined a new African American identity. Black artists, writers and musicians were taking control of their own narrative and through a movement that would grow to encompass and celebrate commonality of the cultural heritage of the African diaspora. The panel examines how Harlem’s cultural explosion influenced Black British identity, the impact of transatlantic artistic exchanges and the role of the creative arts in cultural solidarity. This event is part of Tomorrow’s Warriors Presents Harlem Renaissance: A 100 Year Revolution. Presented by Southbank Centre. Under-14s must be accompanied by an adult.
