Join us after-hours at the Museum for a lively evening of art, music, conversation and engaging workshops inspired by Rise Up: Resistance, Revolution, Abolition.
Explore the exhibition, join one of our talks, soak up the music and visuals and enjoy tasty food and drinks. Future Legacies is an online interdisciplinary community commissioning platform focused on exploring the Black Atlantic.
The aim of the platform is to foster ongoing dialogue and showcase cultural production and critique for diasporic communities, bridging the museum’s Black Atlantic: Power, People, Resistance exhibition (Sept 2023—Jan 2024) and the current Rise Up: Resistance, Revolution, Abolition exhibition. Future Legacies will examine the multiple modes of resistance and links with abolitionist networks globally, including in the UK and Cambridge.
