Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores Black heritage spaces in St Pauls, Bristol and investigates how Black urban communities use inner-city landscapes and neighbourhoods for the production and celebration of own heritage spaces. While the city has been the site of an important demonstration of public contestation of authorised heritage, when the statue of slave trader Edward Colston was toppled on 7 June 2020, there has been a history of Black heritage practices and spaces. Using ethnographic methods, such as participant observation, chatting, walking through the neighbourhood and participating in local events, the article examines these alternative heritage spaces, where Black heritage is produced, (re-)defined and presented by the community who actively remember, recognise and celebrate their legacies in the urban space.
