The Bantu Archive Programme is a project being run by SADACCA – Sheffield and District African Carribean Community Association – in conjunction with Sheffield School of Architecture’s Live Projects team.

The event will invite Sheffielders to learn more about the project, allow for the sharing of stories and encourage more people to consider joining SADACCA.

There will be a branded ‘Bantu Box’ with patterns and logos on it, posters, SADACCA t-shirts and a map of Sheffield where people can pin notable locations for a black history ‘walking tour’.

An area will be set up outside Deichmann on The Moor this Saturday May 29, from 10am to 3pm.

SADACCA, based in The Wicker, has been active since 1955 and is particularly keen to attract new, young members.
