Curated by associate director Malakaï Sargeant and artistic director Suzann McLean, this year's event will cover themes of migration and belonging, voicing the talent of London’s Black community. 

Theatre highlights include the premiere of OJA (The Market), John Akinde’s new play, which unpacks the impact of the black market on communities, featuring Afrobeat rhythms. Voices of Black Folk: In Unexpected Places by playwright and historian Khareem Jamal is an energetic production and retake of history, amplifying voices that have commonly been erased from the history books. Queer Nigerians lead in the new drama how we love, written by Royal Court Writer’s Room alumna Annette Brook.
