On Friday 9th October, I went to visit the No Colour Black exhibition at the Guildhall Art Gallery, which covered the History of Black British Art in Action from 1960 - 1990.
It was basically this one gallery about Black People migrating from Jamaica in the 1960's to England and how they were percived by the British and themselves. The results were unfortunately racist and sad.
The Gallery featured works by Sonia Boyce, Tam Joseph, Errol Lloyd and Paul Dash.
The Guildhall Art Gallery is located near the Bank of England. The location choice is ironic since the Guildhall Art Gallery is located in posh part of England and Black People were considered below White English people in those times - it's almost as though they are making fun the racism.
