Explore the hidden histories of the Church of England, colonialism and transatlantic slavery through archival material, film, poetry and creative work by young people.
Fulham Palace has worked with Parents Action and Resource Centre (PARC) to review archival material held in the ‘Fulham Papers’ at Lambeth Palace Library, to reflect on what that material says about the role of the Church of England and the Bishop of London, culminating in a temporary exhibition in autumn 2026. A group of young people from PARC worked with PhD student Eleanor Hex, storyteller Grace Quansah and filmmaker Jair Tavares to explore the involvement of the Church of England in colonialism and transatlantic slavery, but also to give voice to the enslaved people through a mix of interpretation and imagination by the group.
This exhibition has been co-curated with the young people of PARC.
