The impact of slavery and racism and the need for reparations is a feature of many contemporary cultural forms that have the potential to reach people for whom international law and political resolutions have little resonance. The aim of this webinar is to provide an international and cultural context for the recent responses to slavery and racism that were ignited in Bristol by the Black Lives Matter movement last year. The different presentations and performers at this event will make the issue of reparations relevant to both academics and the wider community.

Hosted by the University of Bristol's Migration Mobilities Bristol and Centre for Black Humanities during Black History Month, this online event will include presentations by the four speakers, performances by two artists and a Q&A with the audience.

Speakers: David Comissiong, Barbados Ambassador to CARICOM; Luke Daniels, President of Caribbean Labour Solidarity; Roget MacKenzie, General Secretary of Liberation; Nadine Finch, Honorary Senior Policy Fellow, MMB; Alexander D Great, UK’s leading Calypsonian; Levi Tafari, performance poet and urban griot.
