The Liming Chronicles - We Going Out!

What are your experiences of going out? Where did you lime, what did you wear, who were your friends, and what memories can you gift, share, and contribute to our collective understanding of this important living narrative of our history and heritage?

Join us and explore the lives of African, Caribbean, and Diaspora British communities who ‘limed’ on the streets of London. We want to hear about your stories of going out.

Over three episodes, this documentary-styled event led by writer and artist Dr Michael McMillan, will chronicle the reasons for, and the experiences of, going out in London over the last 75 years. We focus on acts of freedom, resistance, survival, spirituality, distraction, and joy, including the political trappings of a working-class life. This event should inspire a common ground with others, help to appreciate the relevance of our individual stories and experiences that might sometimes seem irrelevant, that go undiscussed, and at times are even forgotten.

Your personal voices will evoke and inspire your stories and enhance the objects you choose to bring and share alongside key items within the V&A collections.
