Black History Month 2025

< Back to events

Celebrate Black History Month at Dugdale Arts Centre!

"The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe. This year, the theme highlights the profound contributions made by Black people be they leaders, activists, or pioneers who have shaped history, while also looking towards a future of continued empowerment, unity, and growth."

We celebrate Black creativity and culture all year round through our programme, highlighting the voices, talents, and contributions of Black people in our community. This October, our Black History Month Programme shines a special spotlight on history and pride, honouring the past, reflecting on lived experiences, and showcasing the powerful role of Black artists and storytellers today.
