Using visual art and text-based displays, Part 1 of Archer’s Legacy Lives centres Black British history reflecting on Archer’s political achievements and ongoing relevance.

In 1913, John Archer was elected as the Mayor of the Borough of Battersea in the former Town Hall, now Battersea Arts Centre.

Across three connected events, Archer’s Legacy Lives invites you to engage with Black British history through art, performance, and creative participation.
