Kumbu Kumbu

Throughout October, Portland Basin Museum is celebrating African culture in a series of events and displays. Visitors can see African artworks by internationally known artist Chief Dyke Okey Ikeme. Stunning African fashions and headwear are also dotted throughout the museum’s industrial gallery displays. The museum has worked in partnership with Tameside African Refugee Association, who gained Heritage Lottery funding for the project titled Kumbu Kumbu, meaning memory. The events are part of Black History Month which runs every October with events across the country. Kumbu Kumbu aims to keep African traditions alive and showcase the colourfulness of African culture to people in Tameside. Find out more about the project at www.kumbukumbu.co.uk
