Uncomfortable Truths
The legacy of the slave trade in contemporary art and design
Uncomfortable Truths will address the ways in which the legacy of slavery informs art and design. This exhibition of new and specifically commissioned work will commemorate the bicentenary of the Parlimentary abolition of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, seeking to reassess the human cost of slavery.
The cross-cultural experience of the trans-cultural Atlantic slave trade is reflected by the choice of artists who are from the United States, Britain, Africa and Europe, including Fred Wilson, Lubaina Himid, Yinka Shonibare, Romuald Hazoumé and Christine Meisner.
Exhibition organised by the V & A, London.
