Talk: Black Chiswick Through History
Black Chiswick through History: Join Nadege Forde-Vidal for a discussion and viewing of this year's community co-developed displays. Taking place on Tuesday 29 October, in Chiswick House at 2pm.
This year, the ongoing Black Chiswick Through History project, featured in displays throughout Chiswick House, uncovers and honours the contributions of individuals of African heritage who played significant roles at Chiswick House in the 1700s.
A collaboration with local community groups, young people, historians and artists, the project brings to life the stories of Joseph Casar, Lady Burlington’s footman & messenger; James (or Jim) Cumberlidge, who rose from pageboy to publisher; and Jean Baptiste Gilbert, hairdresser to Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.
The event includes time to view the House and displays, followed by a 30 minute talk on the project by lead historian, Nadege Forde-Vidal.
