2,000 Nations - Celebrating Diversity - Black History Wales

People of African and Caribbean descent originate from around 2,000 different ethnic groups, with a range of over 2000 languages and multiple cultural traditions.

A year to explore, the inventions, educational achievements, innovative contributions and to celebrate and share this rich heritage through the Arts here in Wales.
