Inherited Light: Launch Event 2026

​Inherited Light: Official Launch Event

​​Join us for the official launch of Inherited Light — an ongoing archive project celebrating Caribbean youth culture, identity, and placemaking through the lens of Millennials and Gen-Z.

​This evening brings together creatives, storytellers, and community voices to explore how young people in the Caribbean diaspora are shaping cultural identity in contemporary Britain. Through intimate photography and personal narratives, Inherited Light showcases Caribbean youth of today, their experiences, vibrancy, resilience, and creative spirit that define them.

We'll delve into the deeper themes emerging from the project, powered by CSS Diaspora Conversations — a dynamic panel discussion exploring Caribbean placemaking as vital cultural and economic infrastructure.

Together, we'll create space for connection, dialogue, and collective reflection on inherited wisdom, cultural legacy, and community resilience.

​Expect inspiring stories, a powerful panel, networking and sounds of home — see you there!
