welcome to
our mel
“Black British history is history as well as Black.” -David Olusoga
Representation matters and MELANINFEST is a celebration of who we are.
Our Mel recognises that Black History is a history interconnected and so is not limited to a month or a time but has its roots interwoven within stories of pain, struggle, strength and beauty. It’s a history of heroes, a history of revolutionaries but it’s also a history of everyday
people living everyday life in an everyday setting
MELANINFEST creates a space to showcase talent, discover what it means to be Black and British, explore a rich and vibrant culture and be proud of a deep and vast heritage.
Come share this with us.
This is our festival.
