From Create Love (http://createloveforwomen.blogspot.com/) Alexis: “The experience of being loved and being in love, and trusting that the desires of my body are safe and affirmed pushes back against what society has taught me about my body and my very being not being “right”. Trusting that I am right, divine in intimate space is a way of learning who I am again. It is a space to tap into that knowledge and that’s profoundly healing and liberating. I can create joy with my body and with my partner and we affirm each other’s bodies and each other. It is a way to be really present. When we know what that feels like, we won’t settle for anything less. We can walk around every day in the world remembering what it feels like in our bodies to be completely divine.” http://www.mobilehomecoming.org

“My dad said, ‘You have 3 strikes against you in this world. Every black man has 2… that they’re black and male. But you’re black, and you’re a male and you’re gay. You’re gonna have a hard fucking time.’ But he said, ‘If you’re going to do this, you’re gonna have to be stronger than you’ve ever imagined.”

ORAL HISTORY VOLUNTEERS WANTED!!

Are you interested in Black history or photography?

We are looking for dedicated volunteers who can assist in collecting stories and memories for Staying Power: Photographs of Black British Experience 1950-1990s an exciting photography project delivered in partnership with the V&A.

Staying Power has collected over 100 photographs that span fifty years that will be added to the national photography collection at the V&A.

The next phase of the project is to collect oral history interviews with the photographers and subjects of the photographers as well as people who remember the events and places that the photographs depict.

The oral history interviews will become part of the permanent collection at Black Cultural Archives and will be featured in a major exhibition at the new Black Heritage Centre in Brixton in 2014.

Volunteers will carry out the interviews and transcribe the recordings for use by researchers. It’s an excellent opportunity for you to learn new skills and contribute to the collection at the BCA. Volunteer interviewers should love talking (and listening!) to and meeting new people, and be friendly and helpful. Volunteer transcribers should have access to a computer and be able to use Microsoft Word or similar.

You don’t need any prior experience. We will train you in oral history techniques and reimburse travel expenses within London.

You must be able to commit a minimum of four hours a week for 12 weeks during the period of October 2012 to May 2013. We are flexible as to how those hours are worked during that time; there will be opportunities to work from home. You must be interested in Black history and able to work without direct supervision (after training).

To express an interest in in volunteering please complete this form, letting us about yourself and what interests you about the project.
The deadline for application is Friday 19th October 2012.

If you have any questions please contact Kelly Foster, kelly@bcaheritage.org.uk or call 020 7582 8516.
