Short horror film made at Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford!

Young Roots is a group of about 20 young people, with members currently from different countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the UK. Meetings have been held regularly for 2 years mainly in Oxford and the on-going focus of the group has been traditional African music and how it has and continues to influence modern urban sounds listened to by UK youth. But we are also interested in all aspects of African heritage and all feel it is essential to promote the richness, vibrancy and pertinence that African culture and people have to offer. The group is mainly youth focused but acts as a meeting place for all interested in African heritage.

Visits and hands-on demonstrations at the Pitt Rivers Museum served to enrich our investigation of African heritage.
