An evening discussion exploring Black Arsenal as a living space of cultural memory, belonging and collective identity. Author and academic Dr Clive Chijioke Nwonka, who developed the concept over a 10-year research period, reflects on how recent seasons have reshaped its meaning and potential. Following Arsenal's historic 2025/26 Premier League title, the talk considers the interracial collectivism expressed on social media since the victory and what it means for football culture, Black identities and civil society.
