COLONIAL SLAVERY AND ITS LEGACY
Touring exhibition with interactive desk
We worked with the Movement for Justice & Reconciliation (MJR) to produce a touring exhibition that looks at Colonial Slavery and its legacy.
The exhibition was designed as a resource for schools, museums, libraries, local organisations, community groups and churches. Consisting of eight information panels and an interactive desk, the exhibition looks at the history and the ongoing effects on the descendants, not just of those who suffered, but of those who benefitted from the slave trade.
As well as educating the public about colonial slavery (largely glossed over in British schools) the exhibition seeks to answer the question: "What has this got to do with Britain today?" The aim is not to produce a guilt trip but to get people thinking about their respective "unearned privilege and daily indignities" and to ask why the silence and historical amnesia on the facts and effects of slavery.
If you are interested in hiring the exhibition please see details of how to do so on the MJR website: www.mjr-uk.com/exhibition
