Public Engagement

We are committed to making our research, scholarship and practice come to life in the world for the benefit of our communities both local and global.

At Goldsmiths, our history and vibrant public culture underpin our commitment to engaging a broad range of publics in a positive, socially conscious and mutually beneficial exchange. We collaborate with a wide range of partners, stakeholders and participants based on our research and practice.

Currently, we are funding and supporting projects to remember the New Cross Fire and the Black People's Day of Action, 40 years on. Find out more about the projects and how to get involved.
