Centering African-Heritage and wider Black Global diaspora experience in Aotearoa

About


 
The Blackhouse is a dynamic and inclusive community space on-air Radio weekly radio show and Podcast via Access Radio Wellington that proudly celebrates those of African diaspora & heritage in New Zealand. From its base of operations in Wellington, It stands as a symbol of unity, empowerment,  creating a welcoming environment for individuals of African heritage and those of the global African diaspora in New Zealand. We center our stories, our artists, our issues, and more.


Inside the Blackhouse, you'll find a vibrant hub that thrives on creativity, connection, and collaboration. It serves as a gathering place where members of the African diaspora community and allies can come together to share their stories, art, music, and experiences. The Blackhouse is not only a physical space but also a nurturing and supportive community that fosters growth and upliftment.


The Blackhouse highlights the talents and achievements of the African diaspora, from our talented young aspiring artists in our communities and soul-stirring music performances to thought-provoking discussions and community-driven initiatives. It's a place where creativity knows no bounds and where individuals can express themselves freely.


At the heart of the Blackhouse is a commitment to address the unique challenges faced by the African diaspora and promote positive change. The space serves as a platform to raise awareness about important social issues and to collaborate with other organizations and projects that share similar goals of empowerment and inclusivity.


Visitors to the Blackhouse are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's a space that fosters a sense of belonging, where stories of triumph and resilience are celebrated and where new friendships and connections are forged.


The Blackhouse represents the collective aspirations and dreams of a community determined to make a lasting impact. As it continues to grow and evolve, the Blackhouse stands tall as a beacon of hope, creativity, and solidarity for the African diaspora in Wellington and across New Zealand.
