More about the Honouring Our Communities Mural Project
Inspired by the Black History Month 2026 theme of Honouring Our Communities, the Black History Research Group (BHRG) have been collecting new oral histories from local residents with African or Caribbean heritage.
These stories will now inspire the design of a brand new public mural painting, conceived of by artist Aisha Adi, BHRG Chair and a local mural painter.
We'd love your help to paint the mural at the Community Painting Sessions.
The finished mural will be displayed on the railings of St Albans Museum + Gallery October-November 2026.
