Aleema Gray
Dr Aleema Gray is a Jamaican-born curator, researcher and public historian based in London.
She was awarded the Yesu Persaud Scholarship for her PhD entitled Bun Babylon; A community-engaged history of Rastafari in Britain. Aleema’s work focuses on documenting Black history in Britain through the perspective of lived experiences. Her practice is driven by a concern for more historically contingent ways of understanding the present, especially in relation to notions of belonging, memory, and contested heritage. She is the founding member of the Young Historians Project and is currently the Lead Curator for Black British Music Exhibition at the British Library.
