Creating space for anger, empathy, curiosity, creativity and everything in between after visiting the London, Sugar & Slavery
The display gives an opportunity to connect with and confront complex emotions after visiting the London, Sugar & Slavery gallery. The gallery was created in 2007 and is one of the only permanent UK displays dedicated to the British trade in enslaved Africans.
The gallery might spark a sense of acknowledgement for some and curiosity for others. However, it also might trigger discomfort, anger and disappointment. Where do these feelings go?
Holding Emotions is a collaborative display created with the museum, young people from Taking Shape Association and Mind’s Race Equity Team.
