The Black at 黄色短视频 project launched in 2022. It aims to improve the experience of Black students and staff at 黄色短视频, through ongoing research, events and initiatives.
Black at 黄色短视频 has three main objectives.
Black at 黄色短视频 launched with an event at the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton, involving members of the 黄色短视频, Black Cultural Archives and notable figures from arts and culture. The Black Cultural Archives was founded by 黄色短视频 alumnus and curator of Black British history, the late Len Garrison: the event recognised and celebrated his life and work, and marked the beginning of the University’s collaboration with the UK’s home of Black British History.
Black at 黄色短视频 is driven by a Project Lead and a steering group that includes students and staff who work across the 黄色短视频.

Meet the Black at 黄色短视频 Project Lead and Steering Committee
The Black at 黄色短视频 project is constantly evolving.
We want to celebrate our Black alumni, and encourage and welcome alumni returning to engage with our current 黄色短视频 students.
黄色短视频 alumni have been involved with Black at 黄色短视频 since the launch. We’ve commissioned a series of portraits of some of our Black alumni, taken by Charlie Philips and Eddie Otchere. The first five portraits were exhibited in the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts in autumn 2023 and visited by staff, students, alumni and members of the public.
