Marking Black History Month 2025, this unforgettable evening brings together trailblazing artists, poets, musicians, dancers and designers for a vibrant showcase of talent and expression.
Arrive in style and prepare to be immersed in a world of artistry and inspiration. From soul-stirring spoken word to live music that moves the crowd, the event promises an electrifying atmosphere packed with powerful performances. Expect unforgettable moments of storytelling, rhythm and fashion, set in a space that radiates joy, creativity and community pride.
The event is a chance to connect with like-minded creatives, celebrate identity and artistry, and honour the rich and varied contributions of Black creatives in the UK and beyond. Whether you’re here to discover new talent, support local artists or simply revel in an evening of unapologetic Black excellence, this is a night not to be missed.
Founded by Cultureville, Black Creative Trailblazers CIC was created to combat the stark underrepresentation of Black creatives within the cultural sector. Through their annual flagship showcase, they amplify Black voices, elevate emerging talent and foster a vibrant creative network that reaches across disciplines and generations.
This October, join Black Creative Trailblazers at Aviva Studios for a bold and beautiful celebration of legacy, artistry and empowerment. Come dressed to impress, bring your community, and be part of a growing movement committed to making space, shifting narratives and showcasing brilliance.
