Workshop to explore city's Caribbean heritage

People interested in Caribbean history are being invited to apply to attend a free workshop.

Witnessing Gaps, Carrying Stories will take place at Wolverhampton City Archives on 14 March, the city council said.

The one-day event will offer a small group the opportunity to explore original records from the archives collection, including photos, newspaper cuttings and reports.

Councillor Jeszemma Howl, cabinet member for governance and digital, said it was an opportunity to explore the "richness" of the city's Caribbean heritage.

Participants would also be encouraged to bring along an object of personal biographical significance which might "inspire their artistic and creative practice", the authority added.

The project, led by artist Michelle Rodrigues, has been made possible through a collaboration between Wolverhampton City Archives and The National Archives.

Places for the workshop are limited, with people interested in taking part told to apply by 23 February.
