Using historical footage from the BFI National Archive, as well as more recent online video works, this exploration of the influences of West African and Caribbean migration on Black British fashion highlights how migration, identity and resilience alongside the ever-expanding style and social exchange via moving image have shaped (and continues to shape) this fashion movement.

This fascinating compilation of archive material will be followed by an expert panel to discuss the themes and ideas explored by Kasumu, and the importance of archival footage in telling and preserving stories for future generations. Alongside Kasumu, contributors include Harris Elliott (Le Tings), Tosin Adeosun (African Style Archive) and Jemma Buckley (BFI National Archive).

The event will take place on Thursday 22 October (6-8pm – Doors 5.30pm) at the recently reimagined Harris Museum & Art Gallery in Preston and coincides with our Black History Month UK programme.

The Threads of Memory screening and panel discussion forms part of the wider Inside the Archive exhibition that will be on display at the Harris Museum & Art Gallery from 23 October – 5 November 2026. However, attendees of the screening and panel will have an opportunity to preview the exhibit during the event on 22 October.

From 5th - 9th August, Canon by Penelope Payne was exhibited at Haworth Art Gallery, the very place that inspired the work.⁠
⁠
Through sculpture and sound, Canon invited audiences to move through a layered environment where historical narratives and contemporary experience overlap. Reflective materials, architectural references and an immersive soundscape encouraged visitors to consider not only what is remembered, but whose stories endure, and how the spaces we inherit continue to shape our understanding of community, belonging and social change.⁠
⁠
As part of this exhibition and in partnership with Creative Lancashire, Elena Jackson, Festival of Making Co-Director and Curator of Art in Manufacturing, chaired a 'Conversations in Creativity' panel discussion exploring the role of contemporary art in heritage settings. In Conversation with Penelope Payne and Gillian Berry, Arts and Heritage Manager of The Haworth Art Gallery, the talk explored the role of contemporary art in heritage settings. ⁠
⁠
Elena said: “Our conversation reflected on the way contemporary art can bring the less visible histories of a place into view. Penny’s work invites us to think about who has traditionally been seen and heard within spaces like Haworth Art Gallery, and how artists can help us encounter inherited stories from new perspectives.”⁠

We’re excited to be able to announce the shortlist for the new round of the Northern Doc Fund, the only UK scheme to focus specifically on supporting working-class documentary filmmakers in the North of England. The Northern Doc Fund is now in its fourth year and the theme for 2026/27 is ‘recovery’.

The five shortlisted film makers will pitch their documentary idea at @bifa_film and @bafta qualifying @boltonfilmfest in front of a live audience and industry judges, on Thursday 1 October. The two successful filmmakers will make it onto the Northern Doc Fund cohort and receive a £3,000 bursary and 6 months mentorship.

The five shortlisted filmmakers are @thecharfenton, @darshangajjar, @mrjon1986, @meabhmcgvn and @naeuk.

Charlotte is an emerging northern filmmaker with a passion for telling honest, human-led stories. Based in Cumbria, Charlotte is particularly interested in bringing underrepresented experiences and compelling real-life stories to the screen.

🎙️ From a Uher tape machine and a razor blade to the future of podcasting…
We’re thrilled that Lisa Hack is joining us at PodFest North!
Lisa began her audio career as a teenager, collecting vox pops on a Uher tape machine and editing them with a razor blade.
She went on to spend many years in technical production at the BBC World Service, working across news, documentary and audio drama before specialising in outside broadcasts around the world.
Today she’s a Senior Technical Tutor in audio, radio and podcasting at Goldsmiths, University of London and she’s passionate about helping the next generation of audio makers.
She’s also a founder and trustee of Multitrack, helping create career-changing opportunities for emerging audio producers and a more representative audio industry.
So, yes Lisa knows her stuff!
But what makes her such an exciting addition to PodFest North is her passion for sharing that knowledge and helping people make great audio.
Whether you're an experienced podcaster, just starting out, or wondering what podcasting could do for your business or organisation, you'll want to hear from Lisa.
