This event will draw on our previous research on Ignatius Sancho. The MBL: Student Experiential Fair will take place in the Campus Hub at Devon House and will consist of three stations for undergraduate students to explore. The first station will present students with an archival research exercise that asks them to evaluate source material and practice assessing provenance and narrative bias. The second station will be Arts-focused and will offer students the choice between an 18th century letter-writing/calligraphy workshop or a ‘Paint the Portrait’ activity reproducing the Gainsborough portrait of Ignatius Sancho. The third station will be a walking tour infopoint where they can learn more about the Black History of St. Katherine’s Docks and scan a QR code to access a digital walking guide.
