2025 Showcase:

Togetherness

The 2025 showcase celebrated the power of togetherness as an act of resistance in a climate of division. The programme highlighted the strength that comes from community, from the trailblazers who came before us, to the creatives who walk alongside us and the communities that uphold us, all of us together building Black creativity.

​

The landmark Annual Showcase at Aviva Studios featured over 100 creatives across music, poetry, and fashion and attracted around 1,000 attendees, including industry leaders and the wider community. It included a five-day exhibition with more than 17 artists, extending the showcase beyond the main event.

​

The 2025 programme reaffirmed Black Creative Trailblazers as a platform for collaboration, celebration and community, creating meaningful connections and amplifying Black voices at scale.
