OKHA, the queer + black book club
Our OKHA sessions resume next month and will be hosted every last Tuesday of the month at 1014 Gallery. Each session will have an additonal component a talk, Q+A, film screening or access to a special event.
We hope that being a part of OKHA will get us all talking more, meeting more people and engaging in more things that help us improve, grow and get through the madness that is life sometimes.

About OKHA
PRIM's OKHA book club is dedicated to bringing you works by African, Caribbean and Afro-Latinx people. To providing a space for book lovers and those who never really read to come together and to give us all room to share perspectives, learnings and our experiences orally.
Let's analyse, educate and build community - one tale at a time.
OKHA means story/tale in the Edo language of Nigeria. It is a new community focused space aiming to bring people together, in particular, queer and black people. We do however, want this to be a fully inclusive space meaning being queer is not a prerequisite for attendance but a clear indication of the tone and energy of the space. OKHA is ever evolving and are constantly learning.
We ask that all our supporters are patient with us and always let us know what we're missing, what we can do better and how to ensure we keep the 'us' and the 'we' forever at the centre of what we do. Ur thoughts are welcome, always.
