About the project:
In February 2025, Bristol Central Library is hosting Into the Light: Pioneers of Black British Ballet, a new touring exhibition bringing the untold stories of Britain’s black ballet dancers to centre stage for the first time.
Funded by a £245,500 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Into the Light: Pioneers of Black British Ballet will bring together archive photography, film, newspaper articles and posters alongside new video and audio interviews to trace the history of black British ballet from the 1940s to the present day.
A unique partnership between creative agency Oxygen Arts and Libraries Connected, will see the exhibition tour 25 libraries, starting in Stockport and Redbridge this October and continuing until November 2025.
Alongside the exhibition, we’ll be hosting a programme of events including this evening talk at Central Library and further workshops at branch libraries.
