Similarly in the 90s other festival had a similar objective:
I remember my cousin Vicky Spooner, created The Black British Dance festival in the 90s. There was such a buzz around the time: Why? What for? Who is she? However, she opened up the opportunity for quite a number of Black Dance Artist or Artist from the African Diaspora to create, produce and showcase their work. Her festival ran for at least 2 years: productions at the Cochrane Theatre and other venues.
