Dr. Michael McMillan presents Bun n Cheese: Things that bring me joy
Wednesday 30 October 2024 at 1:00PM
Sutton Central Library
Event Description
Bun N Cheese is a collaboration between Michael McMillian and Joseph Jeffers (ASKI) that explores oral histories with a group of black elders of Caribbean heritage local to Sutton.
The group shared stories about cherished personal objects that bring them joy. By reflecting on these memories embodied in these precious things, the group explored through creative writing their aspirations, journeys, struggles and resistance being othered towards a place of grace and joy.
Their stories speak to wider themes of Caribbean and African diaspora, colonialism, a willingness to fight and die for Empire, dreams of traveling abroad, immigration and trauma of arrival, and many other experiences of being black British.
The workshops took place at Wallington Library earlier in the year, and were supported by Jamaican British novelist, Jacqueline Crooks, photographer Aneesa Dawoojee, and Farrah Khan (ASKI).
