things we imagined

Things We Imagined is a collaborative project curated by Black individuals, creating a space for overlooked voices across age, location, gender, sexuality, abilities, and beliefs.

Through audio, visual, and written mediums, the project captures diverse lived experiences, forming a parallel narrative that resists stereotypes and celebrates multiplicity.

The first workshop, in partnership with Somerset House’s Upgrade Yourself Festival, invited emerging creatives to explore Britain’s first and largest Black LGBTQ+ archive, rukus!, contributing to a collective board and gaining insight into archiving, self-expression, and the development of artistic identity.
