Jamaican–Haitian–British artist and curator Paula Ogun Hector founded Tapestry of Black Britons to honour the often-overlooked African Caribbean presence in Britain, from the Roman era to today. The project began with a woven dialogue between a Yoruba creation story and World War II histories, setting the foundation for an evolving, interdisciplinary, touring artwork. Blending research, digital innovation, heritage craft, and education, the Tapestry invites creatives, schools, universities, and researchers to engage with archives through making. By encouraging participation through needle, tablet, or pencil, it bridges gaps in historical knowledge and nurtures culturally connected, empowered communities.
