We both matter
Mbeke Waseme | July - December 2026
An intergenerational program that connects African Caribbean elders (aged 60+) and young people aged 16–18 on the Alton Estate, Roehampton, creating a brave space to explore life questions.
Taking place July - December 2026, it will bridge the generational divide through shared storytelling and discussions around the value of education, the secrets to enduring relationships, the components of a good life, and the cultural and physical importance of the food we eat.
Central to the project is the documentation of life journeys that will encourage and lead to some memoir writing. This will highlight the critical importance of archiving and preserving cultural stories. To support the organic formation of community, each gathering will be enriched by traditional music and shared meals that will create a secure environment that celebrates heritage.
“To document the intergenerational stories from the African Caribbean communities in Roehampton is an honour and a privilege.” - Mbeke Waseme, Lead Artist.
July to December 2026 at Roehampton Family Hub. Free entry.
Get Involved
Mbeke Waseme is seeking 10 young people, plus 10 people over 60, from Roehampton who can commit to 4 meetings of 3-hours each, to take part in the workshops.
