KIN Annual Convening 2025

Film by Nathaniel Lloyd Richards

Our Annual Convening took place in September, bringing fifty Black activists and organisers together in Manchester for a day of deep connection.

Sessions included:

Living & Practising Liberation Together

Moving together and apart: Bodily practices for wellbeing

Knowledge Sharing & Archiving 

Black Feminist Leadership Incubator

Infrastructure and Sustaining Movements

Tundun Adebanjo has beautifully pulled together a rundown of the day, including who was involved, details on each session, images, and quotes, offering an overview of the space we held and shared with our Network.

Additional resources from the day, including a Wellbeing Kit and a podcast on Knowledge Sharing & Archiving, are available below.
