A Wellcome Library event

Two performances, each inspired by an object in the Wellcome Library's collections, illuminate a meeting of cultures in West Africa 200 years ago.

A Mandinka Prayer sheet illustrating the meeting of African and Islamic cultures across the Sahara, and the exercise book of an African boy working as surgeon's assistant aboard HMS Scout inspire two performances. Part of the Camden Black History Season.

Speakers:
Malika Booker, writer, poet, theatre, multi-disciplined artist
Alex Somerville, Speak Up
