Booker Prize-winning novelist Bernardine Evaristo joins author and cultural commentator Kemide Lawson for a conversation about Black homes and the architecture and interiors that shape them. Their subject is House Proud, a book Evaristo has described as fascinating, groundbreaking and utterly gorgeous, which looks at Black interiors and architecture across centuries and continents.
Together they will explore overlooked histories of Black homes around the world, and how buildings and interiors carry stories of identity, resistance and joy. The evening moves from ancestral wisdom to contemporary aesthetics, and asks what the past can teach us about living fully today.
