Free workshop led by Abi Teeder and introduced by Catherine Nnamdi on the life of eighteenth-century Black British figure Ignatius Sancho, part of Lincoln Bishop University's Black History Month 2026.
Abi Teeder leads a workshop on Ignatius Sancho at Lincoln Bishop University on Thursday 29 October, from 4:45 pm to 6:15 pm. Catherine Nnamdi, Mayor of North Hykeham, introduces the session, which runs in Seminar Room 1 of the Hardy Building on the university's Longdales Road campus.
Sancho was an eighteenth-century Black British author, composer, actor and businessman. He was a complex and shrewd man who navigated the challenges and restrictions of his time, managing his public persona to defy dominant narratives and to secure positive recognition from wider society. The workshop looks at his life and work, and takes its title from Black Skin, White Mask, the 1952 book by Frantz Fanon.
The session is part of the university's Black History Month 2026, a series of events celebrating the local, national and global contributions of Black people. The wider programme includes food tasting, storytelling and a one-woman show, so this sits alongside a few other things happening across the month.
