HI THERE. WE’RE BUMPKIN FILES

A space examining Black British life beyond the monolithic, often London-centric lens, and life in overlooked places through archives and multimedia.

Our mission is diversify the way we collectively tell our own stories in media. Bumpkin Files creates an inclusive and educational space to bridge the gaps and assist reconnection across the diaspora.

Our Manifesto

Bumpkin Files & STRAND present: Files Across The Isles.

FATI is a story about Black communities beyond London & the spaces that keep them connected.

From the coast to the countryside, we explore what Black British life looks like across the country, in the past and present day.
