What Make Us House Proud?

Join author and cultural commentator Kemide Lawson in conversation with Booker Prize-winning novelist Bernardine Evaristo for a thought provoking evening celebrating House Proud, Black Interiors and Architecture Across Centuries and Continents, a book described by Evaristo as “fascinating, groundbreaking and utterly gorgeous”.

The conversation takes place at the perfect home, Ebony Life Place, a new Black cultural hub in London.

Together, Kemide and Bernardine will uncover extraordinary, often overlooked histories of Black homes across the world, exploring how architecture and interiors tell stories of identity, resistance and joy.

From ancestral wisdom to contemporary aesthetics, this promises to be a thought-provoking and inspiring conversation about the spaces we call home, the stories they hold and what the past can teach us about living lives to the fullest today.
