This celebration of Black History shines a light on the ‘Hidden Figures’ – the often-overlooked Black contributors to science, music, design and dance.  An exhibition in the Winter Garden, talks, energiser sessions and educational activities will explore the rich legacy of Black achievement right up to the present day.  This event isn’t just about Black history, it’s about showing how these creative skills are woven into our everyday lives.  This project will partner with Bradford, Manchester and Nottingham to bring interactive exhibits to Winter Gardens, creating a truly inclusive celebration for all Sheffield communities.
