The rural black history project
The Rural Black History Project aims to challenge the perception of rural England as an ahistorical white space, by illuminating the work of historians whose research contradicts this perception.
We strive to do this by creating fictive emotional and personal histories based on concrete historical data, engaging in a series of activities that will create multiple “hypothetical biographies”.
Through art, storytelling, community engagement and public events, this project aims to viscerally connect our participants and audiences to a more diverse understanding of England’s rural past.
