Narrative Eye
ActiveDescription
Narrative Eye is a third-sector organisation dedicated to promoting equality and social change through education, and to producing and promoting creative works that document and challenge the inequalities and injustices faced by African and African Caribbean people in the UK. It promotes the cultural and historical contribution made by people of African origin in the UK by publishing literary works and research, producing plays and films, and delivering courses, workshops and seminars on history, literature, and cultural and social issues. Its aim is to create new ways for African and African Caribbean people to participate more fully in society and to raise cultural awareness among Black Britons in order to help overcome social exclusion. The organisation's output has included three novels, a West End theatre production on the life of Marcus Garvey, and the 2013 history book Blackamoores: Africans in Tudor England. Its projects include the African Tudors book tour (launched at the House of Commons in 2013 and toured to venues such as the National Portrait Gallery, the London Metropolitan Archives, the University of Nottingham and the Scottish National Gallery), an African Tudors in the Curriculum campaign, and The Empire Needs Men, a touring exhibition and workshop programme charting the First World War from an African perspective. Much of its work engages communities in socially deprived areas about the significance of Black British presence throughout British history, and it runs a volunteer programme that trains participants in world history and literature, personal development and project leadership.
