🎨 Meet Oriana Unaji at the Greenwich Summer Food Festival! Born in London and raised in Lagos, Oriana is an interdisciplinary artist blending textiles and painting to explore cultural identity, space, and emotional healing. With deep roots in creativity — from a poet mother to a cake decorator father — her art speaks through colour, shape, and fabric to express what words often can’t. Her work invites you to feel, reflect, and connect — offering a visual experience that lives beyond the canvas. 🗓️ Saturday, 26th July 2025 📍 Glyndon Community Centre, Plumstead, SE18 🕛 12 PM – 6 PM 🎟️ Free Entry Come experience Oriana’s work and so much more — food, music, art, and culture, all in one day! Proudly supported by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, BME Volunteers CIC and Partners. #RGF25 #BMEVolunteers @rianaunaji

Heritage is more than where you come from. It is what shapes your identity, your values, your memory, and your sense of belonging. For some, it is language. For others, it is family, tradition, spirituality, music, food, stories, or culture passed from one generation to another. In a world that constantly changes, remembering who we are becomes even more important. What does heritage mean to you? Tell us in the comments.

Some people know where they live. Few truly know where they come from. Heritage is more than history. It is identity. It is memory. It is foundation. This October, we gather in Northern Ireland to reconnect with the origin of Yoruba civilisation, reflect on the legacy of Obatala, and honour the generations that came before us. Because without sound understanding of who you are, your culture, your heritage… you belong nowhere.

Some journeys begin with travel. Others begin with remembering who you are. This October, we gather in Northern Ireland to reconnect with the source, Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of the Yoruba people, and to honour the legacy of Obatala, remembered for wisdom, purity, peace, and leadership. This is more than an event. It is a moment of reflection, identity, culture, and heritage. A reminder that understanding where you come from gives meaning to where you are going. Join descendants of Ife, lovers of African heritage, and members of the diaspora for a powerful day of learning, connection, and cultural pride.
