L. R. James, the Centre was a vital community space for African and Caribbean people, a place for learning, organising, creativity, care and connection.For many, it wasn’t just a building. It was a home, a meeting point, and a foundation for new possibilities.-------A year of gathering storiesOver the past year, we have been working closely with the community to reconnect with the Centre’s history, interviewing the people who built it, worked within it, attended it, fought for it, and continue to carry its legacy.We’ve captured memories, emotions, and reflections that might otherwise have been lost.Now, we invite you to experience them.A one-time screeningAt this Final Gathering, we will premiere a short documentary sharing the faces and voices behind the Nello James Centre, many of whom local Manchester residents will recognise.This is the first and only public screening.After this, the film and materials will begin their journey into the first-ever Nello James Centre archive at the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Centre, where they will be preserved, studied and accessed for generations to come.Before it becomes history, this is your chance to feel it, in the room.-------What to expectThis is a space of celebration as much as reflection, honouring the joy, creativity and community that the Centre held.Together we will experience:🎬 Premiere screening of the Rekindling Nello James documentary🎭 A never-before-seen visual poem written by Keisha Thompson, featuring young people from Rekindle🖼️ Exhibitions and installations inspired by the Centre’s legacy🎶 Live performances and music from community members🤝 Space to connect, share stories and build new connectionsIn the spirit of the original Centre, we’ll also take time to eat, talk and be together.-------The Short Schedule11:00am — Arrival & Welcome Drinks11:30am — Opening GatheringWelcome from the project team + documentary screening12:30pm — Exhibition, Food & PerformancesMove through the space and enjoy:Live performances from community members and young peopleUBUNTU Space with herbal teas and rotating film screeningsExhibition and archival installationsWest African canapés by Gwafu VeganThe Nello James Centre was built on people, their ideas, their care, their courage and their joy.
