About Mocho House

Ours is a language that was not meant to be written, borne from a people who were not meant to record their own selves.

We will be launching Mocho House officially on December 21st, 2020.

Each member of the Mocho House team is highly respected and recognised in their field. This collaborative effort brings together our collective skills in service to our communities. 

Our work will include: 

  • Workshops and training

  • Mentoring 

  • Creative pieces that reflect the social/spiritual climate/reflect our personal musings and ruminations (poetry, mixed media pieces and visual products)

  • Writers’ rooms (collaborative spaces where [s]kinfolk can come together to vibe, create and curate)

  • Creative publishing 

  • Speaking engagements

Our Purpose

Mocho House is a creative project which is curated by a family of Black Londoners. Our work is focussed on African and African-Heritage Communities, and centres the journeys and experiences of African-Caribbean people across the diaspora, with the intention to highlight our stories as part of building our collective archival memory.
