More about The Arkhe Project

The Arkhe

British-born Black people have shared roots with the rest of the Black Afrikan Disapora, which can often influence our foundational sense of selves. Caribbean, West African, and African American cultures heavily feature in our everyday lives. Although we may access diaspora and heritage, these cultures were not designed with our context in mind. As the ‘Black British’ demographic becomes more pronounced, there is an increasing need for a culture that is intentionally built by us, for us.

Meaning ‘first principle’, the Arkhe is a semi-tangible embassy and vessel for Black Brits. It will first ‘dock’ at MAIA’s Yard Art House, before making visitations across the country.

An Afro-Speculative project, the Arkhe is the first morphological Black British Institution, designed to equip British-born Afro/Black people with 1) historical and contextual education; 2) intentional, foundational Black British culture-building staples and rites; 3) and ways to gather, celebrate and organise despite limited access to space.
